Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 캐러멜과 바닐라가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 포트 던다스 그레인 위스키의 1973 빈티지 32년 숙성에서 부드러운 텍스처가 명확하게 드러나며 59.3도 ABV의 강한 무게가 단단하게 잡혀 있다. 팰럿에서는 꿀과 토피, 가벼운 가죽이 발전하고 마른 향신료가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 피니시는 마른 오크와 짙은 코코아가 길게 이어지며 구조감이 분명하다. 던컨 테일러 레어 올드의 분석적 가치가 또렷한 한정판이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
ah, this is even more complex it seems. It starts right on bananas (truckloads) mixed with cereals and vanilla. Bold notes of nougat, light honey, pollen… And then we have almost the same incense/sandalwood notes as in the Invergordon. Really superb, developing on ‘rhum arrangé à la banane’ (rum soaked bananas in fact). Also hints of cologne but nothing offending. But I think the old grains’ strong point isn’t really their noses but their palates so let’s see how this one tastes…
restaurant Palate
oh, it’s just fantastic! Pure banana juice at first sip but then it does the peacock’s tail with lots of high-end rum, sugared avocado juice, fresh pineapple (pina colada, eh) and lots of spices such as white pepper and nutmeg. And what a fine oaky structure, with just a slight sourness that keeps it playful. Amazingly good, really. Long finish, quite peppery, with loads of bananas again and just a small pinch of salt (probably from the cask). A winning single grain! 91 points .
