Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 진한 골드빛이 잔 벽을 두껍게 타고 흐른다. 코끝에 가져가면 레몬밤과 오렌지가 서서히 커지며 망고와 구아바, 은은한 민트가 뒤따른다. 퍼스트필 버트에서 13년을 보낸 61.6도의 이 롱몬을 한 모금 머금으면 크리스탈라이즈드 오렌지와 아카시아 꿀, 금귤의 단맛이 힘차게 밀려든다. 물을 더해 삼키면 생강의 매운기와 짭조름한 뒷맛이 균형을 이루며 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
a little more discrete at first nosing, almost shy, which is unusual with old Longmorns. Takes off after a good two minutes, that is, slowly but continuously. First we have the same notes of lemon balm as in the ‘Castle’, then orangey notes that grow bigger and bigger, then mango, guavas, verbena, even a little muscat grape... All that is coated with wood smoke (or pine cones), mint and even a little eucalyptus, and the whole is probably less decadent than its siblings but just as beautiful on the nose. No water needed. Front and back label (or the other way round?)
restaurant Palate
it’s certainly not slow at the attack, rather punchy, orangey and spicy right at the first drops. A tad more ‘brutal’ than its bros at this stage but the general profile is very similar. A little more oak as well, but the rest is all on crystallised oranges, acacia honey, tangerines and kumquats. Let’s see what happens with a few drops of water: yes, that works, it got rounder, creamier, with added hints of ginger and salt
timer Finish
long, on the same kinds of note. Very salty tang in the aftertaste
