Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 오큰토션 특유의 가벼운 꽃향과 삼중 증류가 만든 깔끔한 시트러스, 바닐라가 먼저 드러난다. 팰럿은 18년 숙성 위로 43도의 도수가 풋사과, 꿀, 가벼운 견과를 섬세하게 밀어 올리며 발전한다. 로우랜드 삼중 증류 특유의 매끄럽고 가벼운 질감이 균형을 잡는다. 피니시는 흰꽃과 오크 향신료가 우아하게 이어지며, 1980년대 병입다운 정제된 구조감이 명확하게 드러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it's pretty dry and leafy, not that easy, with first some oak shavings and sawdust, and only then gummy bears and marshmallows, rooibos tea… But it remains drier than before and even a notch metallic (old tin box)
restaurant Palate
again, a little leafy and drying at first, then on cider apples, peel, allspice, ginger, turmeric… The distillate doesn't seem to have much to say, we're pretty far from the distillery's older expression, not to mention the fantastic sherried ones that they used to have… like twenty-five years ago. Remember those very singular diamond-shaped labels that used to set them apart?
timer Finish
a little short, but better, fruitier, with some oranges. But the aftertaste remained rather leafy and tea-ish, a little bitter
