Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호그스헤드에서 28년을 보낸 시간이 이 스페이사이드 몰트의 섬세함을 한층 끌어올렸다. 코에는 사과꽃과 풀잎, 옅은 꿀의 향이 맑게 피어오른다. 입에서는 잘 익은 배와 바닐라, 갓 자른 보리의 단맛이 깨끗하게 흐른다. 53.4도의 도수에도 자극이 적고 결이 곱다. 1985년 빈티지다운 원숙함이 옅은 황금빛 너머 산뜻한 여운으로 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
starts with just a little chlorine, it’s just like you’re entering Monte Carlo’s municipal swimming pool. After that, there’s a much unexpected coastal peatiness, then ‘a walk in the forest after a heavy shower’, then bags of fruit peelings, first apples, then kiwis and (probably) mangos. A very un-Linkwood Linkwood so far, interesting… With water: becomes both even more coastal, and more ‘Linkwood’. Where is Linkwood Distillery again?
restaurant Palate
ex-Islay cask? Marzipan and peat, smoked salmon, sour cream, cough medicine, apple peelings, butter pears. How unusual indeed. With water: it’s got something of some ex-Seagram peated Benriachs, as far as I can remember. I find some lime, smoke, lemon, sage…
timer Finish
rather long, maritime and citrusy. In short, not very ‘Linkwood’, but certainly very good
