Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 캐스크에서 18년을 보낸 숙성이 묵직하기로 이름난 모틀락을 한결 매끄럽게 다듬었다. 코끝에는 잘 익은 자두와 가죽, 옅은 고기 육수 같은 향이 깊게 올라온다. 55.3도의 도수는 꿀과 호두, 알싸한 향신료의 풍미를 또렷하게 밀어 올린다. 더프타운의 야수로 불리는 모틀락답게 진득하고 두꺼운 질감이 중심을 잡는다. 짙은 황금빛 끝에 가죽과 구운 오크가 오래도록 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
it’s much, much sweeter than the official, with many more dried fruits and sweet natural liquids such as honey or maple syrup. Sultanas, figs, kumquats… And then, in the background, Mortlach’s fatty meatiness, tallow, ham, oils… And camphor, eucalyptus… Love this, it’s going to be a little tough for the official, I’m afraid. With water: indeed, a little tough, since this one has now even sexier fruits. Golden raisins, even a touch of banana, tangerines… All that goes extremely well with the spirit’s bigness
restaurant Palate
oh my! It’s very fat, very syrupy, and yet the huge spices manage to balance all that, with plenty of ginger, mustard and caraway. Big stuff for sure. With water: no, ite missa est. Stunning apricots, blood oranges and mangos are now coming to the front
timer Finish
long, superb. Oranges and honey among many other flavours
