Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 1972년 빈티지 토버모리의 진한 무화과와 호두, 묵은 가죽 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 올로로소 셰리 캐스크에서 33년을 보낸 시간이 노즈에 또렷한 구조감을 새겨 넣었다. 팰럿은 49.6도의 단단한 도수가 다크 초콜릿, 마른 자두, 정향의 셰리 노트를 받쳐주며 입천장을 천천히 덮는다. 알람빅 클래시크 보틀링의 정제된 큐레이션이 균형을 단단히 잡는다. 피니시는 길게 발전하며 산화된 오크의 쌉쌀함이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
quite punchy, starting on something vaguely medicinal (mercurochrome) and rather porridgy at the same time. There is some peat as well (although I wouldn’t say it’s a mislabelled Ledaig), notes of manure, bitter oranges, something like fruits starting to rot, new plastic, wet dog… Don’t Get me wrong, all that is quite pleasant in fact, just very different from what we’re used to. Notes of gin. Gets much peatier with time, with also quite some pepper, hints of mustard, ashes and shoe polish… On second thought, there may well be a little Ledaig in this one
restaurant Palate
well, this is extremely ‘different’ to say the least, not sure I’ll find what I need in my usual tasting vocabulary. Starts with lots of shampoo (just like when you forgot to close your mouth when taking a shower), plastic, waxed cardboard (or something like that)… And cologne (like when you forgot to close your mouth when….), glue (?)… Well, you got it, this palate is plain weird and, honestly, flawed. Funny but flawed
timer Finish
gets a little better once the shampoo is gone but… In short, if you ever put your hands on this one, you’ll have a lot of fun nosing it but please don’t let the liquid touch your lips. I’ even wondering if they didn’t let those frogs bathe in the whisky before bottling. 60 points (for the nose). Tobermory 33yo 1972/2006 (49.6%, Alambic Classique, cask #9721, 198 bottles)
