Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 돌리면 진한 호박빛이 잔벽에 기름진 흔적을 남기며 흘러내린다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 1969년 빈티지 롱몬 특유의 트로피컬 과일과 꿀 향이 가장 먼저 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 61.5도 내추럴 하이 스트렝스의 알코올이 입을 강하게 데우며 망고와 살구의 농축된 단맛이 묵직하게 흐른다. 천천히 삼키면 19년이 새긴 우디 스파이스가 입에 길게 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
coffee
air Nose
punchy, starting on a mixture of dried fruits (bananas, figs and dates) and developing on coffee and chocolate. Lots of oloroso. A very pleasant smokiness. Goes on with whiffs of hot pecan pie and even more sherry (a heavy one but the whisky isn’t heavy at all). Also raspberry jam and then ultra-bold notes of ginger and liquorice. Water makes it a little more sophisticated – and smokier!
restaurant Palate
punchy, with an immense sherry and litres of strawberry jam. Also liquid caramel, burnt caramel… What a rich and concentrated whisky! It’s maybe a little hard to enjoy without water, that is. With water: it gets more on honey, nougat and praline
timer Finish
long, on caramel and raisins. Really fantastic but it needs one or three drops of water. 92 points. Longmorn 1969/1993 (61.2%, Gordon & MacPhail ‘Cask’, casks # 3721 – 5297) I tried this one at the Potstill in Glasgow. Nice place and friendly staff but like almost everywhere in Scotland, the stocks of great whiskies are dwindling and they don’t seem to be willing to replace these old bottles except with mundane new bottling. Plus, they have the crappiest stereo (vintage 1977, guaranteed 2x5 Watts) and the loudest patrons in the world
