Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오크 캐스크에서 열여덟 해를 보낸 시간이 세 번 증류하는 로우랜드 오큰토션의 1978년 원액에 깔끔한 단맛을 새긴다. 향에서는 잘 익은 사과와 레몬, 옅은 바닐라가 산뜻하게 올라온다. 입에서는 보리 단맛과 시트러스, 가벼운 오크가 부드럽게 흐르고 43도의 도수가 정갈한 균형을 잡는다. 옅은 황금빛 너머로 풀과 견과의 여운이 길게 남는다.
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
