Tasting Notes
문 닫은 스페이사이드 증류소 콘발모어 1969가 옅은 황금빛을 잔에 머금는다. 고든 앤 맥페일이 골라 담은 원액에서 잘 익은 배와 들꿀, 마른 풀의 향이 맑게 피어오른다. 40도의 부드러운 입안에서는 보리 사탕과 시트러스, 은은한 오크가 둥글게 어우러진다. 1969년 증류된 사라진 증류소 특유의 정갈하고 고즈넉한 결이 또렷하다. 꿀과 마른 과일의 여운이 가볍고 길게 이어지며 잔잔하게 마무리되는 위스키다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
punchy and powerful, starting very malty and very sweet, on cooked strawberries, cake and buttered caramel, with whiffs of cinnamon and a nice, sweet and sour woodiness. Gets then more herbal, with notes of yellow Chartreuse, Darjeeling tea, American coffee and cocoa. There’s something ‘ascetic’ in it, for it’s rather close to nature (yeah, whatever that means). A malt that’s isn’t made-up, it appears, probably for aficionados, like many of these new limited bottlings by Diageo that appear to be rather austere (but you might know I like that) and without compromise
restaurant Palate
a powerful attack, extremely sweet and quite woody, starting on fruit liqueurs (such as pineapple), Chinese rice spirit, with a ‘sweet-and-sourness’ that gives it something funnily Extreme-Oriental indeed. Rather tannic, getting a little drying after a while… Right, let’s try it with water now… (and while the nose gets even fruitier and quite farmy as well…) Ah, yes, now it’s much more civilized, harmoniously fruity (apricots, peaches and melons, even tropical fruits such as mangos and passion fruits), with notes of freshly crushed mint leaves. The finish is rather long, balanced and enjoyable with water, always very fruity, with a little icing sugar. A malt that needs water to get tamed – or it’ll take no prisoners! Anyway, it’s the kind of no-peat-no-sherry-no-prisoners malt I like – 89 points . Convalmore 1981 (40%, Strathblair Collection, 2004) A curious fairly new series from Switzerland, showing no bottling year and no cask number although they are single casks, most of them being bottled at 40%.
