Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 금빛이 잔 안에서 은은하게 빛난다. 섬세함으로 이름난 링크우드답게 들꽃과 잘 익은 배, 옅은 시트러스의 향이 곱게 피어오른다. 한 모금은 부드러운 과일 단맛과 꿀, 가벼운 향신료가 매끄럽게 흐르며 혀를 온화하게 감싼다. 30년의 긴 숙성과 45.6도의 도수가 우아한 스페이사이드 몰트의 균형을 또렷하게 살린다. 여운은 들꽃과 마른 과일로 잔잔하게 이어지며 섬세한 끝맛을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
pure! It’s the kind of lovely nose you may get from an x-fill cask, provided you’ve given it enough time. The whisky’s become very complex, void of any big/bold (read dominant) aromas, on many soft fruits and many flowers and herbs. I find whiffs of old roses that I could find in other old Linkwoods in the past, a little patchouli, hay, chamomile, cider apples, fresh mint, wormwood, maybe fennel, some very soft vanilla, wee touches of old style perfume (Jean Patou-style), then more complex teas, white needles, wulongs and such. Brilliant, but it needs you attention
restaurant Palate
as delicate as an old chenin from Loire, really. Some pineapple but not too much, some light honey, tangerines, a soft spiciness, then more herbs around chives and parsley (perhaps), not-too-ripe gooseberries and plums, lemon curd… It’s all a little more immediate than on the nose, but it remains subtle
timer Finish
longer than expected, and more citrusy than expected. Loses just a little stamina here
