Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
묵직한 황금빛이 잔 속에 깊게 어린다. 1989년 증류된 이 몰트락에서는 마멀레이드와 오렌지 껍질 위로 장작 연기와 커피 찌꺼기, 마른 자두가 어둡게 피어난다. 여기에 석탄 타르와 오래된 홍차의 향이 러스틱하게 겹친다. 43도의 입안은 투박하게 시작해 연기와 석탄, 후추, 시큼한 자두주의 짠맛이 거칠게 번진다. 곡물의 흙내음과 육향이 스타우트처럼 깔리고, 마른 흙과 소고기 육포, 달큰한 커피의 여운이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
fragrant and pretty bright, starting straight on marmalade and zests, with some clear wood smoke and some coffee dregs and some cold black tea. Add some earthy black prunes and a little coal tar, scoria and just plain coal. It's reminiscent of some older official Mortlach, such as some batches of the Flora & Fauna
restaurant Palate
rather rustic and rough, with clearly more wood smoke and coal, rather a lot of pepper, sour plum wine, a drop of Maggi (which is pretty salty), then coffeeish malt and a growing earthiness. No smooth malt whisky at all, it's even going towards heavy stout, such as Mackeson's (I'm not too sure, I last tried that 30 years ago), with some kind of semi-sweet astringency
timer Finish
dry, earthy, still rustic, perhaps a tad meaty now, which should be rather 'Mortlach'. Say sweeter mild beef jerky. Sweet office coffee in the aftertaste
