Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 잘 익은 과일과 가벼운 셰리, 마른 오크가 먼저 두드러진다. 1981년 록사이드를 리필 셰리 캐스크에서 19년 숙성해 머레이 맥데이비드가 담은 보틀링으로, 폐쇄된 하이랜드 증류소의 둥근 캐릭터가 명확하게 드러난다. 입에서는 토피와 건자두, 몰트 단맛이 부드럽게 이어진다. 46도의 도수가 절제된 균형을 만든다. 피니시는 셰리와 옅은 스파이스가 길고 깔끔하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
quite a lot of oak in this one at first nosing, but Lochside’s distinctive tangerines and grapefruits are well there, lurking in the background. Pencil shavings and tangerines, a funny combination that does work quite well. The good news is that as often, the oakiness diminishes (or our olfactory bulb starts to filter it out), and in this case it leaves room for more citrusy notes and jasmine. Maybe also touches of curry, allspices…
restaurant Palate
big fruits, oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, lemons (right, I won’t quote all citrus fruit) as well as the sweets and marmalades made thereof, plus touches of ginger and white pepper. Yet, it’s no real fruit bomb. I’d say almost. Probably not hugely complex but the profile is perfect
timer Finish
medium long, more on lemon zests and just a tiny salty touch. Ginger. Strange return on vanilla in the aftertaste
