Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
진한 마호가니빛이 잔에 가득 어린다. 2.81회 증류로 묵직하기로 이름난 모틀락은 셰리 버트에서 25년을 보내며 가죽과 말린 자두, 고기 같은 짙은 향을 풍긴다. 입안에서는 건포도와 호두, 그을린 오크의 진한 단맛이 무게감 있게 번지고, 모틀락 특유의 묵직한 질감이 또렷하다. 1995년 빈티지의 깊이가 45.8도의 도수에 단단히 실리고, 말린 과일과 가죽의 여운이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
very sulphury at first, as if you'd just struck a massive match, the kind one uses to light a fireplace. But we know that’s part of the house style (of Mortlach, not G&M). Then come notes of spent flint stones or even an old Zippo lighter from grandad, beef jerky, shoe polish, and eventually a basket of garden fruits, apples, pears, peaches and apricots, the latter also in dried form…
restaurant Palate
still that tightrope walk between a most singular bitterness, reminiscent of mutton fat and truffle, and garden fruits, with also this distinct impression of chewing on an untipped Gauloise (very, very late at night, well one really shouldn’t, it’s toxic)
timer Finish
long and bitter, akin to certain rooty and very bitter Italian cordials. Pepper in the aftertaste
