Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밀짚빛이 잔 속에서 옅고 맑게 비친다. 캐든헤즈 150주년을 기념해 1980년 원액을 열두 해 재워 담은 이 보틀링은 보리와 사과가 번갈아 밀려오고 파라핀과 화이트 초콜릿, 나무 연기의 결이 그 뒤에 숨어 있다. 59.9도의 입안은 거칠고 젊어 레몬과 밀랍의 맛이 날카롭게 부딪히지만 물 몇 방울이면 광물과 그을음의 깊이가 열린다. 여운은 길고 풀 같으며 서늘한 미네랄이 끝까지 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
another world. This is all on barley and apples and apples and barley, with only a hint of paraffin that, indeed, may be related to the ‘plastic’ side that we found in the Prenzlow. Also white chocolate and some kind of wood smoke. Pinewood? All this is rather brutal and youthful. You little rascal! With water: oooh, water works and brilliantly so. In fact, we now have a pretty Springbanky, old-style whisky that’s rather petroly, sooty and globally mineral. Great wax too
restaurant Palate
high impact naked barleyish, lemony and kind-of-waxy/plasticky malt whisky. Brutal stuff, water is needed indeed. With water: bingo again! I wouldn’t say the plastic is totally eradicated, but the added lemon notes manage to bury it. Great wax again, somewhat ala Clynelish
timer Finish
long, grassier, sharp, mineral
