Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
세월에 다듬어진 부드러운 호박이 잔의 측면에서 흐른다. 링크우드 1960 빈티지 25년은 고든 앤 맥페일의 크리스털 디캔터로 풀려난 보틀링이며, 향에서는 농축된 헤더 꿀과 마른 야생초, 잘 익은 살구, 옅은 가죽, 흰꽃이 차분히 펼쳐진다. 40도의 절제된 도수는 입안에서 링크우드 특유의 우아한 골격 위로 잘 익은 배의 단맛과 옅은 박하잎, 헤이즐넛, 마른 곡물의 결을 부드럽게 풀어놓으며 60년대 스피사이드의 깔끔한 절제미를 보여준다. 끝은 옅은 꽃향이 차분히 사그라든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
reddish amber
air Nose
this time it’s not far from the style of Macallans of the era, with a slightly smoky side and sherry leaning heavily on fruitcake. Loads of dried figs, a hint of metal polish, very large and dark raisins, dried apricots, pipe tobacco, and high-class Darjeeling tea. It’s deep and complex, very seductive, elegant, with hints of peat, but of course, it’s on the palate where it all happens in these kinds of cases
restaurant Palate
I think this is one of, if not the best in the series, even if we don’t have them all in front of us. The slight smokiness and all those dried fruits, and even the pipe tobacco, are well present. One would expect it to nosedive a bit in the middle of the palate, which it does. However, it doesn’t become too dry, too cardboardy, or overly caramelised. Some touches of honeyed ham
timer Finish
short but pleasant, more malty and leaning towards quality coffee and chocolate. The ham reappears at the very end with a hint of chicken broth with parsley and leek. Not bad at all!
