Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 셰리 캐스크가 1980년 원액에 25년에 걸쳐 부드러운 무게를 더했다. 토마틴 특유의 온화한 향 위로 말린 살구와 묵은 꿀, 옅은 가죽이 은은하게 깔린다. 입에서는 절제된 셰리 단맛과 오렌지 마멀레이드가 56.6도의 기운을 타고 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 리필 우드답게 과하지 않은 타닌이 균형을 받친다. 짙은 황금빛 끝에서 여운은 꿀과 마른 우드로 길고 잔잔하게 잠긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
we’re close, oh so close to the SSMC here! We’re maybe a little easier on the leathery notes and maybe a tad louder on fresh fruits (oranges again) but that’s pretty all. Same whiffs of struck matches and same punchiness. With water: exactly the same development as with the SSMC. Maybe a little subtler, with some aniseed and mint on top of the meaty and farmy notes. I like it
restaurant Palate
powerful but a little lighter than the SSMC as far as mouth feels are concerned, although the spiciness is big again. Quite some caraway, cloves, nutmeg. Creamy mouth feel, with some sultanas, fig liqueur, spicy herbs liqueur (I sometimes quote Dantziger Goldwasser), Cointreau as well, bitter oranges… Yes, it’s bitter oranges galore! With water: bang! Amazingly rich and fruity, concentrated, powerful and explosive. More a liqueur than malt whisky indeed
timer Finish
as long as a John Bonham drum solo – and as powerful
