Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 엘긴 곁의 링크우드는 맑은 강물과 정갈한 증류로 섬세한 꽃향을 기른다. 버번 캐스크에서 36년을 보낸 잔에는 깊은 황금빛이 감돈다. 향은 들꽃과 꿀, 잘 익은 멜론이 산뜻하게 피어오른다. 49.9도의 입안은 바닐라와 시트러스, 밀랍의 단맛이 매끄럽게 번지며 오랜 숙성의 깊이가 받친다. 여운에는 꿀과 은은한 오크가 길고 우아하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it’s a bigger Linkwood, maybe a notch less complex and a tad more immediate, sexier, fruitier, more aromatic, more honeyed. We’re well in line with other fruity wonders that were distilled around 1972, especially Caperdonichs and Clynelishes, although this is lighter than Clynelish. Lovely notes of pinesap as well. I cannot see who wouldn’t fall in love with this nose
restaurant Palate
I find very discreet touches of soap in the arrival, but after that all becomes better and better, with citrons, oranges, orange blossom water, cakes, more lemon, crystallised tangerines… and all that. An impressive freshness at 36 years of age
timer Finish
not very long, but rather citrusy. Marmalade
