Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 버트에서 12년을 보낸 몰트락은 묵직한 고기 풍미로 자신의 출신을 또렷이 알린다. 향은 오래된 도자기 주전자와 점토, 녹차와 민트티, 세이지에 파파야의 이국적 단맛이 묘하게 얽힌다. 입에서는 건조하고 멘톨 같은 청량함 위로 초콜릿 풍의 리코리스와 치커리, 옅은 타르, 비프 저키를 닮은 짭짤한 육향이 깔린다. 풀골드빛 잔에서, 고기 같은 리코리스의 쌉싸름함이 길게 이어지며 몰트락다운 개성을 끝까지 붙든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
it’s often the case when you taste from a stone flagon or decanter, you ‘think you find’ notes of stoneware or clay, but are they really there? Well, they are indeed, this is almost like nosing an old teapot into which someone would have also poured some banana juice or something. Some green tea for sure, mint tea, hints of sage, perhaps, papayas… Rather lovely, but let’s check the palate, it’s where thing may have gotten awfy awry, as they say in Tokyo. I mean, in Glasgow
restaurant Palate
not too sure. It got dry, very mentholated and chalky, with some rather bizarre notes of chocolate-flavoured liquorice, chicory, a little tar, a very meaty smokiness that’s quite ‘Mortlach’ indeed, some tobacco that you would have kind of sucked out of an untipped Senior Service (as far as I can remember)… Now there’s also some salty meat (beef jerky) that’s rather Mortlach as well. Intriguing
timer Finish
rather long, on some kind of meaty liquorice
