Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 캐스크에서 29년을 보낸 긴 숙성이 사라진 하일랜드 증류소 로크사이드의 옛 스피릿에 매끄러운 단맛을 천천히 새겼다. 잘 익은 과실과 꿀, 바닐라 향이 먼저 드러나고, 50.7도의 도수가 입안에서 보리 단맛과 시트러스, 옅은 오크 스파이스를 또렷하게 끌어낸다. 지금은 문을 닫은 증류소의 빈티지가 29년 버번 통 속에 둥글게 익어, 짙은 금빛 너머로 꿀과 오크의 여운이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
interestingly, this one is both similar and different from the BBR, not only because of the higher strength. Once again, the citrusy notes don’t play in solo here, as there’re also some pleasant whiffs of wet gravels at first nosing and then more grassy notes and even a little mustard or horseradish. And once again citrus wins in the end. With water: yeah, pure, crystal-clean Lochsideness now. The citrusy fighter squadron
restaurant Palate
a creamier, thicker, more candied and spicier version of Lochside. It’s probably a little less fresh than others but it’s also fuller, kind of more satisfying. A big 1981 Lochside that hints at the 1960s in a certain way (1966, anyone?) More topical fruits, mangos, passion fruits, oranges as well… Oh well, I’m sure you see what I mean. Honey as well, ginger… With water: a citrusy sin, a true fruit bomb
timer Finish
long and just as citrusy. More grapefruits than oranges now
