Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
깊은 황금빛이 잔에 어리는 이 로크사이드는 오래전 문을 닫은 하이랜드 증류소가 1963년에 증류한 희귀한 보틀링이다. 27년을 보낸 향에는 묵은 과일과 밀랍, 잘 익은 오렌지의 따뜻한 기운이 천천히 솟아오른다. 60.5도의 강한 도수로 입에 머금으면 꿀과 토피, 향신료의 풍미가 힘차게 번지고, 물 한 방울에 깊은 과일 향이 부드럽게 풀린다. 오크와 말린 과일의 여운이 길고 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
‘vibrant’ gold
air Nose
rather expressive, maybe a little less fruity than the ‘Awards’ version and more on praline, toasted oak and caramel-coated roasted hazelnuts. It’s also curiously a little meaty (ham) but other than that it’s not too far from a bourbon. Hints of violets and faint whiffs of smoke, probably from the wood. Then it does get fruiter, mostly on bananas and coconut. Not too exuberant but the balance is pretty perfect despite the heavy woodiness
restaurant Palate
very sweet, full bodied and certainly not overly woody. Sure there’s lots of nice oak but also honey, pollen, ripe bananas, again these caramel-coated hazelnuts, crystallised oranges, guavas… Really playful. Quite some tannins arise after a moment but they never make the whole drying. Okay, quite some cinnamon and white pepper… Slightly rougher than expected after the middle
timer Finish
long considering it’s a grain whisky, caramelly, vanilled and oaky like some bourbons, with just a few tannins starting to stick to your tongue (not too ripe bananas, tea). In short, another excellent old grain whisky. 89 points . Lochside 27 yo (60.5%, James MacArthur, grain, late 1980’s) This one was probably distilled in the very early 1960’s
