Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1946년 빈티지 링크우드의 산화된 오렌지 마멀레이드, 묵은 가죽, 비누꽃 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 40년 숙성된 전후 빈티지의 시간 압축이 노즈를 지배한다. 팰럿은 40도의 부드러운 도수가 토피, 마른 살구, 정향의 구조감을 자연스럽게 풀어내며 균형이 단단하다. 고든 앤 맥페일 크리스털 디캔터 세스탄테 임포트답게 정제된 큐레이션이 또렷이 드러난다. 피니시는 길게 발전하며 묵은 오크의 부드러운 쌉쌀함이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
waaah! The most wonderful combination of dried fruits (especially sultanas) with light smoke and cough syrup. There’s this sootiness that’s often to be found in these old malts, some unexpected medicinal notes (embrocations, camphor, incense paper), hints of date liqueur like they make in Turkey (can’t remember the name, maybe ‘date liqueur’?) and then quite some spearmint. All that on a bed of sultanas, figs, longans and just a little thuja wood (resinous). Perfect old malt whisky, deliciously complex yet firm and assertive. Let’s only hope the palate will be half as stunning as this nose
restaurant Palate
sure it’s not as flabbergasting in the attack, as it’s a tad weak, a little cardboardy and much, much grainier. Notes of tea, white pepper, a little cinnamon. Improves after a few minutes, though, becoming rounder and more on dried fruits but without ever matching the memorable nose
timer Finish
short, a little drying. Slightly metallic aftertaste
