Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스트필 페드로 히메네스와 올로로소 유럽산 오크 버트에서 25년을 보낸 시간이 이 모트락의 진한 풍미를 빚어냈다. 묵직한 셰리에서 온 건포도와 무화과, 가죽이 향에 빽빽하게 차오른다. 입에서는 농축된 셰리 단맛과 다크 초콜릿, 마른 고기 같은 모트락 특유의 묵직함이 입을 가득 채운다. 55.1도의 도수가 그 무게를 단단히 받친다. 짙은 적갈색 끝에는 가죽과 말린 과일의 여운이 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark straw
air Nose
holy featherless crow! Nothing antique and nothing old-fashioned in this baby, it’s simply a nervous, complex and wonderfully oily Mortlach. Oils indeed, limejuice, brown coal, wet gravel, clay, linseed oil, lemon skin, fresh butter, lime tea… No traces of sherry or other flavourings here, it’s as ‘strong’ and elegant as a naked Mortlach can be. My, what a spirit!
restaurant Palate
how peaty! Seriously, this is as peaty as an old Caol Ila on the palate, and I’m not joking. It’s also very rooty and earthy, ashy, briny… Yes, really sounds like some Islay whisky and I swear there was no mismatch with sample bottles and labels. This is a big surprise, I have to check if Mortlach made some very peated batches around 1950. Now, I liked the nose a little better, it was more complex
timer Finish
quite long, just as peaty, with notes of almonds, grapefruits and passion fruits in the aftertaste, like in many very old peaties. Maybe a tad sour
