Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 흔들면 1939년에 증류된 링크우드의 옅은 호박빛이 시간을 잊은 듯 잔 벽을 흐른다. 코끝에 가져가면 43년의 침묵이 길어낸 말린 사과, 묵은 가죽 책, 꽃가루처럼 가벼운 단내가 함께 솟아오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 40도의 부드러운 알코올이 꿀과 누룩, 옅은 시나몬을 입천장에 잔잔히 펼친다. 삼키면 마른 잎과 흙냄새가 길게 따라오며 전쟁 직전 스페이사이드 위스키의 시간 박물관 같은 결이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
ah, now we’re talking! Starts on superb notes of metal polish, old leather and tobacco pouch, pumpkin soup and yoghurt. Sounds weird but it isn’t, honest. More and more metal polish (I don’t know if you know this thing called Glanzol, any motorcycle rider should own a tube!), used coins, bitter oranges... It’s hard to make a difference between what comes from bottle ageing and what comes from the original spirit here but what’s sure is that it’s great whisky!
restaurant Palate
oh yes, this is great. Bizarrely, it’s a style of whisky that one can find in many of these great old dumpy Cadenheads. Fantastic herbs (chives, sage), something metallic again, liquorice, crystallised oranges and lemons, marzipan, our beloved argan oil... Okay, the whole is maybe not in its prime, and maybe slightly tired (gets a bit drying) but it’s still a very palatable drink – not only for whisky archaeologists like we are
timer Finish
not too long and probably a bit too drying at this point but who cares?
