Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 스페이사이드 벤리악이 1991년 빈티지로 길어 올린 17년의 시간이 들꽃 꿀과 잘 익은 사과, 옅은 바닐라로 잔잔히 풀어진다. 46도의 도수가 입안에서 시트러스 마멀레이드와 시리얼, 흰 후추를 단단하게 펼친다. 더 홈커밍 2009 보틀링이 스페이사이드의 부드러운 균형을 길게 이어지는 여운으로 머금는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
was it still Seagram that made these peated batches? It’s one of the most delicate and elegant peat I’ve seen, although delicateness and elegance might not quite be what you’d expect from a peated whisky. Love these whiffs of old toolbox, penny book, castor oil, fresh oil paint, or linseed oil… It’s a very un-coastal peatiness, but the mainland sure has its charms
restaurant Palate
I remember why I loved an earlier version, it’s because it’s so un-Islay. Salted cough syrup, ink, smoked salmon, ashes… I’m re-reading my old notes, and it seems that it used to be fruitier, while this one’s clearly more ashy/salty/sooty. Eating cigar ashes (while distracted)
timer Finish
quite long, very ashy. I don’t quite know where this saltiness come from – doesn’t smoke trigger salt on our tongues? A debate to open on a whisky forum, one day…
