Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔 안쪽에 옅은 황금빛이 가벼이 어린다. 1946 빈티지 링크우드답게 옛 시대의 부드러운 곡물감과 잘 익은 사과, 흰 꽃, 옅은 꿀의 향이 코끝에 또렷이 풀린다. 입에서는 40도의 절제된 도수가 잔잔한 단맛으로 입천장을 덮으며 토피, 가벼운 시리얼, 옅은 시트러스가 발전한다. 전후 시대 스페이사이드의 옛 시간감이 잔향까지 또렷이 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
