Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 배럴만 쓴 숙성은 왁스와 니스, 밀랍 같은 향을 감추지 않고 그대로 내보낸다. 처음엔 조용하다가 꽃꿀과 들꽃 향이 살아나고 새 고무줄과 달궈진 금속의 냄새가 끝에 스친다. 입에서는 힘이 붙어 태운 빵과 졸인 과일 소스가 두껍게 깔리고, 황금빛 잔의 마무리는 구운 것들의 고소함으로 넉넉하게 채워진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
rather discreet at first nosing but getting nicely fragrant, with quite some wax polish, varnish (good varnish ;-)), beeswax… Very delicate, in fact, not too expressive but quite refined and elegant. Notes of nectar, flowers from the fields, getting a little smoky and rubbery (new rubber band). Very nice, although there’s also some smells of hot metal (hot still?)
restaurant Palate
more powerful this time, quite rubbery again, with some burnt bread, overcooked fruit sauce. Nice, quite balanced and showing lots of oomph but not too complex. The finish is very nice, though, on all sorts of roasted things. In short, a very good one, very enjoyable. 87 points . Springbank NAS (46%, OB, House and Tree label, Germany, mid 1990’s)
