Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 엘긴 남부의 청량한 공기 속에서 자란 롱몬 1968은 35년의 시간을 침착히 견딘다. 잔에는 깊은 호박빛이 또렷이 깃들어 있고 잘 익은 망고와 패션푸르츠, 그리고 꿀의 트로피컬한 향이 일어난다. 61.9도의 압도적 무게에도 입안에서는 트로피컬 과일과 보리설탕, 옅은 향신료의 단맛이 깊게 머문다. 여운에는 시트러스와 꿀의 매끄러움이 길게 이어진다.
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
