Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
인버네스 남쪽 고지대에 자리한 토마틴은 한때 스코틀랜드 최대 규모를 자랑한 하이랜드 증류소다. 오크 캐스크에서 37년을 보낸 1965 빈티지는 잔에 짙은 호박빛으로 잠긴다. 향은 말린 과일과 묵은 가죽, 밀랍이 오래된 시간의 결처럼 피어오른다. 입에서는 48도의 부드러운 도수가 꿀과 오렌지, 견과의 단맛을 매끈하게 흐른다. 여운은 은은한 향신료와 오크가 길게 남아 반세기 가까운 숙성의 깊이를 전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw, yes, just straw
air Nose
much more powerful than the G&M’s. Sherry, and quite a lot of eucalyptus. Nicely balanced. Apple, peach, guava, and some nice wood. Very satisfying and youthful for a 37 yo malt. Just a little less complex than the G&M on the nose
restaurant Palate
again, quite bold and playful for its age. Very expresssive, fruitful, with some great sherry. Notes of white fruit, and some fine pepper to underline the whole. Lacks just a little complexity, but the palate is much more satisfying than the G&M’s. What’s also incredible, is that it’s got much more oomph than the much younger Springbank 10 yo . Again, if only the G&M had the same punch, it would have been an absolute winner. Anyway, our ratings for the Hart Bros are just the same: OH 90, SV 89 . Tomatin 37 yo 1965 (48%, Peerless, cask #1909) It’s going to be hard to compete with the two great Tomatins we just had, especially because Tomatin remains… eh, Tomatin! Anyway, its colour is amber. The nose is very flowery: wild flowers, bouton d’or, honey. A little too smooth and tired, but not too much wood influence a little weak, which is strange when considering its ABV. Perhaps it lost some power in the sample bottle, which was just 1/3 full. Too bad, we should try it again in the future. Anyway, it’s got some notes of cold, light tea, with lots of tannins appearing towards the end. Not bad, but our ratings can’t be very solid this time. OH 85, SV 83 (to be tasted again). Bruichladdich 33 yo 1969 (48.7%, Peerless, cask #2929) Back to Islay for just one malt. The colour is straw, and the nose shows some strong williams pear notes. Very fresh and clean. Too bad our sample is really too small to alow us come up with some serious rating. The mouth really makes us think of some pear eau de vie. Quite strong, with some pepper. Very elegant! Quite long finish. Again, we haven’t got enough malt to rate it properly, but we both think it deserves between 89 and 92 points. Let’s say an A . Strathisla 35 yo 1967 (51.1%, Peerless, cask #1533)
