Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 오래된 병에서만 나오는 밀랍과 광택제, 벌집 냄새가 조심스럽게 열린다. 손안에서 데우듯 돌리면 꿀과 들꽃 향이 따라오고 옅은 고무와 연기가 그 뒤를 스친다. 46도를 한 모금 머금으면 도수보다 훨씬 단단한 맛이 들어와 태운 빵과 조린 과일의 기운이 혀 위에 겹친다. 천천히 삼키면 구운 향들이 하나씩 흩어지며 1973년 증류액다운 마르고 우아한 금빛 여운을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
rather discreet at first nosing but getting nicely fragrant, with quite some wax polish, varnish (good varnish ;-)), beeswax… Very delicate, in fact, not too expressive but quite refined and elegant. Notes of nectar, flowers from the fields, getting a little smoky and rubbery (new rubber band). Very nice, although there’s also some smells of hot metal (hot still?)
restaurant Palate
more powerful this time, quite rubbery again, with some burnt bread, overcooked fruit sauce. Nice, quite balanced and showing lots of oomph but not too complex. The finish is very nice, though, on all sorts of roasted things. In short, a very good one, very enjoyable. 87 points . Springbank NAS (46%, OB, House and Tree label, Germany, mid 1990’s)
