Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 스페이사이드 디스틸러리답게 잘 익은 사과와 배, 꿀의 향이 부드럽게 차오른다. 잔을 기울여 한 모금 머금으면 52.2도가 또렷하게 혀를 데우며 호그스헤드의 바닐라와 보리 엿, 가벼운 시나몬을 풀어낸다. 1998년 증류해 24년을 보낸 이 보틀링은 단정한 스페이사이드 몰트의 과일 단맛과 매끄러운 질감이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 목을 넘긴 뒤에는 꿀과 마른 오크의 여운이 잔잔히 잠긴다.
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
