Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1965 롱몬 특유의 묵은 트로피컬 과실과 셰리의 견과 향이 동시에 두드러진다. 46년이라는 압도적 숙성이 발전시킨 망고 잼, 묵은 가죽, 다크 캐러멜, 광택 낸 마호가니 노트가 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 51.8도의 도수가 입을 깊게 채우며 자두 콩포트, 흑설탕, 견과의 고소함, 가벼운 백후추가 단단한 구조를 형성한다. 스페이사이드 노장 롱몬의 정수가 또렷이 드러나는 보틀링이다. 피니시는 묵은 우드와 트로피컬 잼의 여운으로 매우 길게 이어진다.

this is insane, this little baby is as fresh and vibrant as… some fresh fruit (I had been willing to mention a female singer but finally thought that was a bad idea). Imagine a full basket of peaches and raspberries, a few bottles of the best Sauternes and Alsatian vendanges tardives, some perfect dates (I mean the fruits, eh!) and then the softest curry powder. Mix, shake well and you get this. Brilliant!
restaurant Palate
breaking news, someone invented some kind of device that literally ‘disoaks’ old malt whiskies. I cannot find any other explanation of the fact that this is so fresh and fruity. Granted, it’s ‘polished’ but never oaky, while many dried fruits including figs, pears, dates, raisins, orange zests and even apples dance on your tongue. To keep this short and sweet, this is a wonderful old liqueur…
timer Finish
long, creamy, with more honey and spices and a feeling of ‘mulled wine’ in the aftertaste. Cloves and a little mint
