Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 밝은 황금빛이 잔 벽에 윤기 있는 막을 남긴다. 코끝으로 가져가면 서른 해 묵은 그레인 위스키다운 바닐라와 코코넛, 옅은 카라멜 향이 부드럽게 올라온다. 1987년 증류한 덤바턴을 한 모금 머금으면 리필 배럴의 달콤한 토피와 크림, 가벼운 오크 스파이스가 56.5도의 힘으로 혀 위에서 번진다. 삼키면 바닐라와 견과의 잔향이 입안에 천천히 가라앉는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
no smoke and no peat this time, rather a little sweet and rounded varnish, a touch of earth, and quite a lot of custard. Well… With water: ah? Mercurochrome and mud… That’s a bit rugby, isn’t it. BTW, have you seen the French team? They’re terrible these days!
restaurant Palate
no, wait, indeed I’m finding a soft smokiness, perhaps a tad Caol-Ila-ish, and a feeling of smoked lemons and apples. Green peppercorn. With water: indeed, it seems that they’ve used some ex-peater cask for this one too, even if that’s much less obvious than with cask #14247 – which I liked better
timer Finish
medium, perhaps a tad undetermined. So, is it a peater or is it a ‘regular’ grain whisky?
