Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
폐쇄된 브레친 증류소의 옅은 황금빛이 잔 안에 또렷이 빛난다. 1980년 빈티지 노스 포트가 SMWS 74.3 A melange of e-numbers 보틀링으로 16년의 시간을 거쳐 57.3도의 단단한 도수에 담겼다. 향에서는 잘 익은 사과와 옅은 시나몬, 마른 보리의 톤이 코를 사로잡는다. 입에서는 토피와 캐러멜라이즈드 비스킷의 단맛이 묵직하게 입을 채우고 약한 후추가 균형을 잡는다. 색은 옅은 황금빛이며 여운은 곡물의 마른 잔향으로 길게 따라간다. 산지의 풍토와 우드의 영향이 매끄럽게 정제된 보틀링의 깊이가 손에 묻어난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
Straw
air Nose
Lots of mirabelle eau de vie at first. Ripe pears, a little lychee, some sharp gooseberry, white flowers such as daisies and also some chalk and a cereal / weetabix note. Rather lovely and very fresh, although it’s very much in this old school, austere and extremely unsexy style. Although that’s a style that is very popular both at Whiskyfun HQ and Whiskyfun Edinburgh depot. Develops a clearer mineral edge with a little time. Some putty, rubbed lime skins and perhaps a little citrus infused mascarpone. While it is an ‘unsexy’ style, it still feels very easy. With water: a wee twist of lemon peel, some quinine (at the risk of appearing sacrilegious, it would probably work nicely with tonic) and finally some waxier tones as well. A little hessian and lick of something tropical begins to emerge
restaurant Palate
Rather lean, crisp and bone dry. A young and punchy riesling. Some sappy, slightly green wood, white pepper, flints, more chalk and hints of porridge with the most miserly teaspoon of honey. Some cornflower and plain scones as well. With water: some barley water, a little touch of eucalyptus, lemon biscuits and a distant flicker of caraway
timer Finish
Good length and surprisingly bready and yeasty. Some more very subtle lemony aspects, chalk and white stone fruits
