Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 아메리칸 호그스헤드에서 34년을 보낸 1980 빈티지 링크우드는 절제된 우드 아래 증류소 특유의 맑고 꽃다운 성격을 오래도록 지켜냈다. 코에는 잘 익은 사과와 흰 꽃, 꿀의 향이 섬세하게 피어오른다. 입에서는 시트러스와 보리 엿, 옅은 향신료가 매끄러운 질감으로 번지며 57.7도의 도수가 또렷한 힘을 더한다. 맑은 황금빛을 따라 여운은 꽃과 꿀, 옅은 오크로 우아하고 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
yes, time worked. It’s not that it’s better polished, or rounder, or smoother, not at all, it’s simply more complex, with more flowers and herbs, for example, and an unexpected medicinal side, as if this was an ex-old-Laphroaig hogshead. Band-aid, eucalyptus, chalk, humus, even mud… It’s all quite subtle, and lovable. With water: stunning earthy notes, hay, farmyard, meadows after a heavy shower, then rather beeswax and pollen…
restaurant Palate
amazing! Peat and gentian in Linkwood, how does that sound? The smokiness is much more obvious than before, and there is a weird feeling of hashish as well. With water: more oranges and a floral side – this is well Linkwood – while the hashish disappeared. Was I dreaming?
timer Finish
quite long, more herbal. Eucalyptus syrup, mint, smoked herbs… No, not those
