Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드의 기름진 골짜기가 길러낸 롱몬은 꿀과 과실로 정평이 난 증류소다. 1986년에 증류해 17년을 보낸 이 캐스크 스트렝스는 깊은 골드빛을 잔에 드리운다. 58.2도의 향은 꿀과 모과 젤리, 생강의 알싸함에 살구 파이와 잘 익은 복숭아, 옅은 석탄 연기가 따라붙는다. 입안은 달고 크리미하게 시작해 잘 익은 살구와 오크, 후추의 결이 진하게 번진다. 여운은 길게 이어지며 전나무 꿀의 단맛과 기분 좋은 쌉쌀함이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
typically Longmorn, with these usual notes of honey, nectar and quince jelly. Quite punchy, getting then very gingery (with even hints of ginger tonic) and rather nicely winey (sweet white wine, traminer). Goes on with quite some apricot pie, very ripe peaches and melons, whiffs of coal smoke… Smooth but playful, with these bold gingery notes
restaurant Palate
very sweet, very creamy, starting on a very present oakiness and notes of ripe apricots. Lots of pepper as well, maybe even hints of chilli. Kind of a sourness from the cask but it’s ok. Goes on with roasted fruits (mostly raisins) and a little resin or chlorophyll chewing gum, un-sugared tea. Faint bitterness. Probably less fruity than the nose
timer Finish
rather long, with that ‘nice’ bitterness and quite some fir honey as well as a little burnt cake. Not one of the most stunning Longmorns I think but still an excellent malt. The nose was much nicer than the palate. 86 points. Longmorn 1972 (58.3%, Jack Wieber’s Prenzlow Collection, 120 bottles)
