Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
엑스버번 배럴과 스페인 올로로소 셰리가 함께 익힌 12년이 로랜드의 삼중 증류 원액 오큰토션에 부드러운 두 겹의 표정을 입혔다. 버번에서 온 바닐라와 시트러스, 가벼운 아몬드의 향이 드러나고 그 위로 올로로소의 건포도와 호두가 더해진다. 입에서는 40도의 순한 도수 위로 몰트와 견과, 옅은 셰리의 단맛이 매끄럽고 가벼운 질감으로 흐른다. 풀골드빛 잔에서, 부드럽고 깔끔한 단맛이 미디엄보다 짧은 여운으로 마무리된다.
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...
