Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
깊은 황금빛이 잔에 그윽하게 어린다. 롱몬 1987은 꿀과 과즙, 마르멜로 젤리의 향을 먼저 풀어내고 생강의 톡 쏘는 결과 달콤한 화이트 와인의 기운이 이어진다. 그 사이로 살구 파이와 잘 익은 복숭아, 옅은 석탄 연기가 비친다. 58.3도의 입안은 달고 크리미하게 시작해 오크와 후추, 건포도의 결로 번진다. 캐스크에서 온 가벼운 산미가 깊이를 더한다. 여운은 제법 길게 이어지며 전나무 꿀과 옅은 쌉쌀함이 끝까지 또렷하다.
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)
