Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔 속에 1965년의 시간을 품고 잠겨 있다. 클라이넬리시의 1965 빈티지를 캐든헤드가 23년 만에 미니어처 블랙 라벨로 병입한 채도다. 노즈에서는 헤더 꿀, 잘 익은 모과, 그리고 옅은 가죽이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입에 머금으면 시트러스와 향신료 박힌 견과류가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 51.7도의 도수가 23년 숙성의 클라이넬리시 왁시 노트를 단단히 받쳐준다. 옛 동부 하이랜드의 단정한 광택이 길게 이어지는 여운에 깊게 머문다.

Colour
mahogany with brownish hues
air Nose
but what is this? Smoked gravy with mint? Redistilled 19th century Bourgogne? Egyptian walnut liqueur? Seriously, I think I never nosed such a thing: imagine a random mixture of English brown sauce, oxtail, old leather, coal and coal smoke, soot, smoked bacon, gunpowder, saltpetre, dried kelp, prawns (any kind of seafood actually), liquorice, coffee, oyster sauce, cloves, rancio, flor... The list would be endless, so let’s stop it, but no need to say this is magnificent. Let’s only hope that Tobermory started to make some similar Ledaigs again (not the ersatzes they made in the 1980’s and 1990’s)
restaurant Palate
amazing power and huge spiciness! What a beast! The Mike Tyson of whisky (come on, Serge), with peat and phenols instead of jabs, meat instead of hooks and spices instead of uppercuts. I’m sorry but the rest will be censored by the anti-maltoporn brigade
timer Finish
yup – KO. Amazing whisky, in the vein of other fabulous 1972 Ledaigs such as some oldies like the ones by James MacArthur
