Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 금빛이 잔에 고르게 퍼진다. 향은 의외로 순해서 사탕수수 설탕과 익힌 곡물의 포근함이 먼저 오고 이탄 연기는 뒤에서 조심스럽게 비친다. 입에 넣으면 향보다 훨씬 힘이 세지고 옅은 소금기와 감초, 진하게 우린 얼그레이가 함께 밀려온다. 블랙베리 젤리의 단맛이 그 사이를 메우며 46도의 균형을 지킨다. 1990년 스피릿의 12년은 스페이사이드답지 않은 스모키한 결을 품었다. 여운은 길고 달큰한 연기로 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
sweeter and quite softer at first nosing, with indeed a little cane sugar this time (eh?) and much shier peatiness and smokiness. Even more mashed potatoes and grain in this one, the whole getting frankly porridgy after a moment, with even whiffs of horse sweat. Soft and wild at the same time
restaurant Palate
punchier and peatier than on the nose, slightly salty, with also quite some liquorice and earl grey tea (heavily infused). Hints of stout, violet sweets, blackberry jelly. Again this bitterness (more old walnuts here)
timer Finish
long, more ‘peaty and candied’. This one isn’t too winey, but one can feel it’s not ‘regular’ whisky and that ‘something’ happened. I liked the rum version’s cleanliness a little better I must say. 79 points . Another Roman label we made 'just for fun' a few years ago when that famous ‘fake Macallans’ issue occured. Benriach 12 yo 'Importanticus Fumosus' (46%, OB, Peated Port Finish, 2520 bottles, 2007) Do you spot ‘port’ in Importanticus?
