Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
더프타운의 보리밭과 깊은 골짜기 안개가 모틀락 풍토의 출발점이다. 1954년에서 멈춘 원액이 58년이라는 긴 시간을 거쳐 43도로 1998년 후속 병입됐다. 마호가니에 가까운 짙은 적갈색이 잔에 가득하다. 코에는 마른 무화과, 가죽, 흑설탕, 옅은 흙내가 떠오른다. 입안은 묵직하게 흐르며 자두 잼, 오렌지 마멀레이드, 오크 탄닌이 또렷하다. 여운에는 반세기를 넘긴 시간의 정제된 단맛이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
coffee with a greenish tinge
air Nose
you would think you’re nosing an old oloroso, somewhere in Andalucia. Old walnuts, barbecue smoke, mutton suet, old camphor cream, a box of Cuban puros, and roasted chestnuts. The words ‘medicinal tobacco’ springs to mind, but that would be an oxymoron, wouldn’t it
restaurant Palate
hurray! Seriously, I was afraid it would have gotten too dry and cardboardy, but no so, not at all. Eating some tobacco from your untipped Gauloise (you know, adolescence memories), eating chocolate fudge (we used to have a thing called Carambar in France), drinking some old-style very black tea, and crunching ultra-roasted pecan nuts. And coffee beans while we’re at it. Woody yet not dryingly tannic, you cannot expect much more from a 60yo ex-sherry malt whisky, can you
timer Finish
quite long, and all on coffee, tobacco, and bitter chocolate. Marmalade in the aftertaste, always great in this context. Perhaps Corinth raisins as well
