Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 흔들면 짙은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 따라 부드럽게 흐른다. 코를 가까이 가져가면 스페이사이드 디스틸러리 1996이 리필 셰리 버트에서 21년을 보낸 시간이 풀어낸 말린 무화과와 호두 향이 가장 먼저 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 풍부한 건포도와 다크 초콜릿이 부드러운 셰리 단맛과 함께 혀에 흐른다. 잔이 따뜻해지면 셰리 버트의 무화과 향이 한층 또렷이 펼쳐진다. 51.5도를 삼키면 가벼운 가죽과 매콤한 시나몬이 길게 따라간다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
a discreet attack on a little vanilla plus hints of fresh fruits (bananas). Goes on with notes of fresh walnuts, a little tea, apple skins and white pepper… Hints of oatcakes, hops and mashed potatoes… Quite shy and lacking a little more expression but certainly not unpleasant
restaurant Palate
sweet and fruity like a much younger malt. Again, little personality but it’s not too woody – at all. Apple juice, vanilla crème, a little white pepper, tea… As simple as it can get at such old age but the consequence is ‘no weird taste’. It should be fun to let some friends taste this one blind and ask them how old it is. The finish is rather short but balanced, maybe slightly gingery (also a little cinnamon)… Again, shy but certainly not dead. 82 points. Speyside Selection No2 (51.7%, Duncan Taylor, 2005) A vatting of a bourbon cask from 1969 and a sherry cask from 1970
