Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 로우랜드의 오큰토션 10년이 1983년 병입답게 잘 익은 바나나와 코코넛, 사과의 향을 화사하게 풀어낸다. 향을 들이켜면 밀랍과 마지팬, 솔잎과 박하의 청량함이 더해진다. 40도의 술을 한 모금 머금으면 세 번 증류한 부드러운 질감 위로 박하와 귤, 정향과 패션프루트가 둥글게 번진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 과일의 단맛과 옅은 소금기가 마른 끝맛으로 천천히 사라진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
that's funny (well), this one is kind of a blend of both the 1970 and the 1979. First we have a little of the 1979's roughness but then it gets very fruity. Maybe not as extravagantly so as the 1970 but we aren't that far. More on bananas in fact, coconut, apples... Beautiful waxiness, with also hints of fruity olive oil, marzipan, hawthorn... Develops on rubbed orange skin, fresh pineapple, oriental pastries... Also argan oil, roasted hazelnuts and, should we say of course, lots of honey and pollen together with great notes of pine needles, moss and fresh mint. Really complex and most enjoyable
restaurant Palate
a superbly minty and resinous attack, bold and 'wide' (does the peacock's tail right away). Crystallised tangerines, wax ala Clynelish, cloves, bananas, passion fruits, pink grapefruits Also lots of spices (even more cloves, black pepper, paprika). It does calm down after a moment, getting more classically honeyed and 'caky'. Also quite some orange liqueur (triple-sec). Lots of oomph considering its age, I guess little people would tell you it's almost 35 yo when tasting it blind
timer Finish
long, fruity, nervous A tad drying of course (it's 35 yo ) but also slightly salty. Assertive indeed and amazingly young. 88 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: WF favourite Regina Spektor singing I need your love.mp3 (from 'Soviet Kitsch'). Quite beautiful, with all these violins (huge market for used violins and cellos these days). Please buy Regina Spektor's music...
