Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 더프타운의 비옥한 보리밭에서 빚어진 이 위스키는 워드헤드라는 이름으로 출처를 가린 싱글 캐스크 보틀링이다. 1997년 증류해 19년을 보낸 이 몰트는 맑은 황금빛을 띠고, 향에서는 꿀과 잘 익은 배, 바닐라가 또렷이 깃든다. 52도의 입은 풍성한 꿀과 구운 보리, 은은한 오크 스파이스로 또렷한 무게를 더하며 스페이사이드다운 둥근 단맛을 그린다. 여운은 꿀과 마른 과일, 가벼운 향신료로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
it’s younger and simpler than the 1401s, one can feel that there isn’t any old whisky inside. Yeah, oldness starts at 25 with whisky, in my opinion – even if aging is anything but linear, agreed. Now simpler doesn’t mean very nice, and in this case it is very nice, on chocolate and cake. Ovaltine, prunes… With water: a bowl full of Mars bars! A little pipe tobacco too
restaurant Palate
good and, once again, pretty simple, on more Ovaltine, more chocolate, and more coffee liqueur. Drops of raspberry spirit. Oh and ‘simple’ is no bad word as far as whisky’s concerned, better simple and balanced than complex and unbalanced. Well, I agree, that depends… With water: brown ale, malt, Ovaltine, brunt raisins (overbaked brioche) and more spices. Cinnamon cake, clove, nutmeg…
timer Finish
rather long, rather on mulled wine, marmalade, and more cakes. We’re approaching Xmas time, aren’t we?
