Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
더프타운의 모틀락은 2.81회 증류라는 독특한 방식으로 묵직한 육질의 풍미를 빚어낸다. PX와 올로로소를 거친 유러피언 오크 버트에서 25년을 보낸 1995년 빈티지다. 잔에는 짙은 적갈색이 감돈다. 코에는 건자두와 가죽, 고기 육수를 떠올리게 하는 향이 깊게 드러난다. 52.4도의 입에서는 셰리의 진한 단맛과 후추, 다크초콜릿이 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 향신료의 여운이 길고 단단하게 이어진다.
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
