Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 화이트 와인빛이 잔 속에서 투명하게 빛난다. 호그스헤드에서 14년을 보낸 링크우드는 풍선껌을 떠올리게 하는 달큰한 향이 먼저 도드라진다. 잘 익은 사과와 뮤즐리, 보리와 옥수수 시럽의 단내가 겹치고 은근한 흙내와 땅콩이 뒤를 받친다. 58.5도의 입안은 보리 오드비처럼 곡물 중심으로 흐르며 갖가지 사과와 오렌지 한 방울이 또렷하게 드러난다. 물을 더하면 잘 익은 청사과의 단맛이 한층 부드럽게 열린다. 마무리는 과수원 과실과 달콤한 보리, 옅은 감초가 산뜻하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
pretty much in the same style as the Allt-A-Bhainne, maybe just a notch more bubblegumy and even solventy, which reminds me a bit of some Auchentoshan at CS. Other than that, same feeling of apples, muesli, barley and corn syrup. Maybe also more earth and peanuts? Uncooked white asparagus? With water: even less porridge/raw barley, more sweetness. Pack of Jellybeans
restaurant Palate
same feeling of barley eau-de-vie, with a lot of apples of all sorts as well as one or two orange drops. With water: this time it’s almost the same as the Allt-A-Bhainne. A lot of sweet barley and apples, especially ripe ‘green’ ones
timer Finish
short to medium, sweet, on orchard fruits, sweet barley and just a touch of liquorice. A little lemon as well
