향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
잔을 천천히 돌리면 43년의 시간을 보낸 링크우드 특유의 깊은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 묵직하게 흐른다. 코끝에 가져가면 1973년 빈티지가 빚어낸 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 옅은 꽃향이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 한 모금을 머금으면 43도의 부드러운 알코올 너머로 카스타드와 흰 복숭아, 가벼운 오크가 입천장을 부드럽게 덮는다. 삼킬 때 묵은 시간의 잔향이 길게 따라온다.

a very unusual start, with gallons of kirsch and tons of liquorice sweets. I love it, for it’s so far from ‘just another sherry monster’. It gets then extremely complex, with a very wide array of aromas (bubblegum, very old sweet wine, rancio, strawberry jam, very old Port, mint flavoured tea, black nougat, chestnut honey, dried kumquats… - note to self: beware maltoporn). Superb notes of liquorice and mint sweets (we call them ‘Batna’ here), old natural turpentine, walnut liquor… And yes, hints of peat. Just fab, as complex as, say, many Springbanks from the 1960’s

oh yes, it’s fab again, provided you’re not put off by heavy tannins, sourness in whisky and hyper-dryness. I’m not, as long as the whole is as balanced as here. The attack is on chocolate, lots of balsamic vinegar, herbal liquors (Jägermeister, Chartreuse) and yes, wood. Lots of toasted bread as well, old fortified wine, Grand-Marnier, fruit eau-de-vie, liquorice (lots), old rum… And armfuls of herbs (parsley, chive, aniseed, rhubarb, lovage…) A very, very interesting experience! The finish is long, very sweet and sour, herbal, and frankly drying now… But the whole is just fab in my opinion and, you got it, most unusual. It’ll be 93 points as far as I’m concerned, but it’s probably not a very consensual expression. MUSIC – Heavily recommended listening - Cambodian rock and roll, really? Well it's quite Californian too and in all ways very, very 'pleasant'. It's Dengue Fever doing Sleep Walking Through the Mekong.mp3 (from Dragon House, 2006). And I think Saran wrap.mp3 is just as good. Please buy Dengue Fever's music!
