Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 깊숙한 곳, 풍부한 수원을 곁에 둔 롱몬은 묵직하고 기름진 몰트로 애호가의 사랑을 받는다. 1996년 빈티지를 셰리 벗에서 22년 숙성한 이 보틀링은 짙은 호박빛을 머금는다. 향은 잘 익은 오렌지와 꿀, 구운 견과류가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입에서는 58.6도의 강한 힘이 농축된 꿀과 건포도, 오크 향신료를 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 롱몬 특유의 풍성한 질감이 달콤한 여운으로 길게 남는다.
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)
