Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 열린 편으로 사과 주스와 사이더의 산미가 앞선다. 민트가 잠깐 스친 뒤 오트케이크와 죽을 연상시키는 곡물 뉘앙스가 뒤를 채우고 감초가 향신료처럼 얹힌다. 1987년 원액을 2006년에 병입한 이 스페이몰트는 색이 옅은 금빛이다. 팰럿은 캐러멜과 구운 브리오슈로 무난하게 시작하지만 중반이 빠르게 얇아지고 탄닌 위주로 정리된다. 40도 병입의 구조적 한계가 분명한 편이며 피니시도 짧다.
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
