Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 흔들면 27년의 세월이 밴 옅은 황금빛이 잔을 적신다. 문 닫은 댈러스 두답게 코를 가져가면 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 마른 곡물의 향이 또렷이 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 1981년 증류된 원액의 부드러운 몰트가 혀를 감싸고, 55.1도의 기운이 시트러스와 보리사탕으로 번진다. 삼키면 묵은 오크와 흰 후추의 끝맛이 깊게 머물러 사라진 스페이사이드 증류소의 자취를 길게 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
rather unusual and certainly ‘old style’, starting more complex than most more ‘modern’ whiskies. Scented candle wax, orange blossom water, metal polish, fragrant honey (orange), incense, ‘old wardrobe’, cigar box and vanilla fudge. Hints of smoke and then old white wine that matured perfectly well (it’s got something of a great old white Bourgogne.) Very complex and very elegant. High-end perfume? Even a little musk
restaurant Palate
more classic but not less pleasant, very orangey, with maybe not too much body but that’s replaced with elegance. Milk chocolate, brioche, caramel and bergamots, tasting more and more like very good black tea. Tea-schnapps? The tannins are quite apparent but very silky
timer Finish
medium long, toasty and maltier now, with even more tannins but again, pleasant ones. And always quite some smoke and maybe just a faint soapiness in the aftertaste
