Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 호그스헤드에서 30년을 보낸 시간이 모틀락 특유의 고기 같은 묵직함을 부드럽게 다듬었다. 잔에서는 바닐라와 익은 복숭아, 옅은 육수 같은 향이 묵직하게 겹쳐 오른다. 한 모금에는 버번이 준 꿀 단맛과 곡물의 고소함이 48.2도를 타고 입천장을 천천히 덮는다. 더프타운의 힘센 증류소답게 중심에 단단한 골격이 선다. 깊은 황금빛 끝에서 여운은 마른 오크와 흙내음으로 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
the Orcines, only with much more cask influence. That would include vanilla, raisins, and dried coconut. What comes after that is very Mortlach, with matches, a meaty side that wasn’t quite in the 1999, some soot, some charcoal and some earth. A funny hint of volcanic scoria (perhaps). Some mad souls would even find a little botrytis in this – well, I certainly do
restaurant Palate
there are ideas of the Flora and Fauna bottling, with a feeling of coal and roasted chestnuts, of earth, of roasted malt, of Guinness… Some bitter oranges join in the dancing after one minute, together with some sharp cinnamon mints and bitter herbs. I find quite some ginger too, as well as something drying (tea tannins, cinnamon)
timer Finish
long, a little acrid and tannic, with unexpected raspberries. Or raspberry jelly, and maybe cranberries. That’s fun. Peppery aftertaste
