Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 우드가 24년의 시간을 견디며 만든 결과가 향과 입에서 또렷이 드러난다. 카덴헤드의 덤피 보틀에 담긴 킨클레이스 1965는 51.4도의 카스크 스트렝스로 사라진 로우랜드 증류소의 정체성을 곱게 풀어낸다. 향은 마른 무화과와 헤더 꿀, 옅은 가죽의 향. 입에서는 자두잼과 구운 견과, 가벼운 향신료가 풀바디 질감으로 흐른다. 사라진 증류소 특유의 단단한 보리 톤이 여운에 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
not much of a quiet Lowlander (it was a Lowlander), rather a style that reminds me of several other old-school dryish malts, such as Millburn, or Glenesk. So not the tiniest piece of fruit, rather bags of grass and leaves, then baker’s dough, and yeast, graphite oils, soot, plaster, concrete, and then more menthol. Enough to bring texture to a good blend… forty years ago. With water: ooh the old days! Paraffin aplenty, fabric, Barbour grease, rabbit fur (yep)…
restaurant Palate
a feeling of quaffing cold-distilled ale at first (remember Brewdog’s?) then some kind of pine-y bread and the feeling of crunching some grapefruit-flavoured wax. Much better than it sounds, despite the touches of soap that are there too. With water: please don’t add any water, should you stumble upon a bottle. It just wouldn’t swim on the palate, and would just sink and get very cardboardy. Unless you added just a tiny drop of H2O to 5cl of whisky
timer Finish
medium, dry, rather on ale
