Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 엘긴 인근, 지금은 문을 닫은 콜번에서 1983년에 증류된 귀한 원액이다. 호그스헤드에서 26년을 보내며 잔에는 잘 익은 황금빛이 깃들었다. 오래된 보리밭을 닮은 향은 마른 풀과 꿀, 살구의 단내가 차곡차곡 쌓인다. 48.6도의 부드러운 입안은 바닐라와 배, 옅은 견과가 둥글게 어우러진다. 여운은 오크의 떫은 기운과 꿀이 천천히 잦아들며 옛 증류소의 정취를 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
hyper fresh and full of clay, fabrics, crushed seashells, limestone, plasticine and ink. The purity is superb! Lots of linens, mineral oils, freshly baked soda bread and even these wee hints of gauze, waxes and petrol. Like a bastard sibling of Clynelish. But then again, don’t we often say that about all these older style lost highlanders such as Glenlochy etc? Really, isn’t Clynelish just a bit old school highlands rather than the other way round? Discuss, write detailed essays and send them all to Serge on Facebook. Anyway… beautiful old Coleburn. Taut, fresh, aromatic and nervous. A wine drinker’s malt for sure
restaurant Palate
pow! Emphatic, rich, oily, powerful, medical, chalky and full of these citrus and waxy flavours. Really terrific stuff! Peppery, lightly herbal, slightly salty and still many of these very structured and balanced mineral qualities
timer Finish
long and full of soft waxes, gentle medical embrocations and chalk minerals. There’s rather a lot of honey and salty old mead notes in the aftertaste
