Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
북부 하이랜드 토마틴 마을 산자락의 청량한 공기가 1967년 스피릿의 40년 숙성에 또렷이 깃든다. 일곱 통의 버번 호그스헤드가 진한 호박빛을 잔에 잠근다. 향에서는 잘 익은 사과와 마른 살구, 헤더 꿀이 또렷이 드러난다. 입을 채우는 42.9도의 부드러운 질감이 입천장을 천천히 덮으며 시나몬과 보리의 단맛, 옅은 오크 풍미가 깊게 머문다. 여운은 단맛과 향신료가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
no sherry bomb, and one that’s so totally Tomatin! Not sure this baby contains a lot of, or maybe even exclusively some 1976, but what’s sure is that 1976 was a great vintage! Perfect tarte tatin, light menthol, cigar box, honeydew, cedar wood, beeswax, and more apple pie(s), then rather dried tropical fruits, not unlike these mixes they make as snacks for our aperitifs. Bananas, papayas… I find it totally perfect, fresh, complex, and true to the distillery
restaurant Palate
a touch of oak, then a perfect, very fresh avalanche of more dried and fresh tropical fruits (oranges first) as well as raisins, the expected honey and mint combination, and then more oak spices, as often in these oldies. Around cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Also strong mint-floured black tea. Yet, the sherry remained rather discreet, those should have been refill butts
timer Finish
medium, more mentholated, with a wee turpentine-y aftertaste
