Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 결코 소극적이지 않다. 사과 주스와 사이더가 앞서고 민트가 스친 뒤 오트밀과 으깬 감자를 연상시키는 곡물 뉘앙스로 발전하며 감초가 향신료 역할을 한다. 1966년 원액을 2002년에 병입한 이 스페이몰트는 색이 옅은 금빛에 머문다. 팰럿의 첫인상은 캐러멜과 구운 브리오슈로 나쁘지 않지만 중반이 빠르게 얇아지고 탄닌만 남는다. 40도 병입의 한계가 드러나는 구간이며 피니시도 짧게 끝난다.
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
