Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
세라믹 북 4권에 담긴 이 43도 15년은 노즈에서 럼 뉘앙스와 스미르나 건포도가 먼저 잡힌다. 셰리의 비중이 크지만 다크 토피와 초콜릿, 육수 같은 감칠맛이 겹치며 무게 중심이 낮게 놓인다. 팰럿은 퍼지와 말린 과일의 단맛으로 시작해 부드러운 향신료로 발전하고 낮은 도수에도 밀도가 상당히 높다. 오렌지 꽃물 같은 화사함이 마지막을 정리한다. 짙은 앰버빛 그대로의 구세대 셰리 캐릭터다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
just superb, on some beautiful rum and Smyrna raisins. Plus, of course, the best sherry. It gets quite meaty, together with some dark toffee and lots of chocolate. The sherry is quite heavy but the whole is greatly balanced
restaurant Palate
beautiful attack on fudge and baskets of dried fruits. So lively and powerful at the same time! Extremely compact, at that, with lots of soft spices and a bit of orange flower water. Just superb. 92 points . CRAZY WHISKY ADS - BRAGGERS AND BRAGGARTS - PART 4: Don't be afraid, show your competitors! Above, left: George Dickel , 1969: ''The other one. George Dickel is the other great Tennessee Sour Mash Whisky. We're not famous yet. But we will be. (...) George Dickel. We won't be the other one long." Above, right: Barton'sQT , 1971: ''Barton's QT is lighter and milder than any whiskey you've ever tasted. Because it's distilled at a higher proof than traditional whiskey. And it's stored in selected, seasoned barrels (...) By next year, we expect that many other distillers will be selling whiskey distilled at higher proof than traditional American whiskey and stored in used barrels.But there won't be another whiskey as light and smooth as Barton's QT for a long, long time." Right: Cutty Sark , 1974: ''When the place finally closes and the boss says "let's us have one"... Launch a little Cutty." MUSIC – Recommended listening: maybe this will surprise some people but I just discovered Jake Thackray 's beautiful songs while browsing the Web. If you're in the mood for some tender folk songs, please have a listen to either Last will and testament - mp3 or I Stayed Off Work Today - mp3 . Jake Thackray passed away two years ago, so I'll never have the opportunity to see him live. Too late, too bad... But please buy his music (via M.
