Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 시간이 응축된 짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에 깊게 잠겨 묵직한 윤기를 머금는다. 1986년 증류된 로열 로크나가의 이 레어 올드는 잔을 기울이면 말린 과일과 토피, 구운 견과 향이 그윽하게 피어오른다. 56.9도의 도수에도 입안은 흑설탕과 건포도, 가벼운 향신료가 둥글게 깃든다. 오랜 숙성이 다듬은 곡물의 단맛과 마른 과일, 은은한 흙내가 길고 깊게 이어지며 천천히 가라앉는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
more powerful, less rounded, in other words straighter than the OB. The mouldy notes are much less obvious whereas the smokiness is even bigger. Notes of cut apples, a little linseed oil and rather graphite instead of plain coal. With water: some peat comes out, hints of motor oil, even tarmac. It’s funny how some ‘natural’ Lochnagars display some of Port Ellen’s usual descriptors. I wrote ‘some’, eh!
restaurant Palate
raw but neat and clean, fruity, maybe a tad varnishy. Gets then grassier but superbly lemony, with also hints of olive oil. Assertive, as they say. With water: fab at first sipping, more on quince jelly, marmalade and figs, getting then rather grassy and lemony again. Takes water well but gets back to normal after a few seconds. An elastic profile, how interesting is that?
timer Finish
long, clean, all on lemon pie
