Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 금빛이 잔 안에서 부드럽게 비친다. 1940년 원액을 셰리 통에 담아 1990년에 병입한 스페이몰트답게 향은 의외로 소박하다. 사과주스와 사이더의 산뜻함이 먼저 열리고 곧 오트케이크와 죽처럼 곡물의 냄새로 옮겨가며 감초의 향이 그 사이를 채운다. 40도의 술은 캐러멜과 구운 브리오슈로 시작하지만 몸통이 가벼워 이내 흩어지고 마른 탄닌만 남는다. 고든 앤 맥페일의 이 보틀링은 짧게 닫힌다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
not shy at all, starting on lots of apple juice and cider, with hints of mint and getting then much grainier and mashier (porridge, oatcakes, mashed potatoes), with quite some liquorice to spice the whole up. Certainly pleasant as an everyday malt under Italian climates
restaurant Palate
the attack is pretty nice (nice caramel and toasted brioche) but it’s then very weak and almost falls apart after just two or three seconds, leaving room for some tannins and not much else. No middle and a very short finish, with just these tannins. I don’t know whether that’s a flaw but it’s extremely harmless to say the least. 70 points. Macallan 'Distiller's Choice’ (40%, OB, circa 2004) This version was for Japan
