Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
가득한 황금빛이 잔 속에 진하게 어린다. 1990년 병입된 오켄토션 로우랜드 몰트는 바나나와 코코넛, 잘 익은 사과의 향에 왁스와 마지팬, 꿀과 꽃가루가 겹겹이 포개진다. 40도의 부드러운 도수 아래 입안은 민트와 송진, 정향과 크리스털라이즈드 귤의 풍미로 화사하게 열리고 오렌지 리큐르의 달큰함이 뒤따른다. 여운은 길고 과실감이 살아 있으며 끝에 옅은 소금기가 스친다.
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...
