Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 황금빛이 잔 속에 깊게 머문다. 1966년 캠벨타운의 보리로 만들어 버번 오크에서 31년을 보낸 향은 밀랍과 마른 풀, 짭조름한 미네랄로 열린다. 입에서는 53도의 알코올이 묵직한 오일감으로 흐르며 마른 살구와 흙내음, 옅은 바닐라가 층층이 쌓인다. 여운에서는 캠벨타운 특유의 짠바람과 향신료가 오래 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
another story all about honeys, flowers, waxes, pollens, deep layers and sublime concentration. The fruits here feel more crystallised and preserved in style, also a wonderfully textural impression of jellied green and yellow fruits. Gloopy, fat, gelatinous old Springbank that brims with a sense of body and texture. With water: hot house flowers, pollens, aged mead and camphor. A very heady and rather assertive floral quality but also eucalyptus, tobacco and quince - wonderful complexity now
restaurant Palate
great attack, all on aged teas, preserved citrus rinds, a rather brittle waxiness and suggestions mineral salts, lanolin, herbal medicines and wood extracts. It is beautiful but I would say the wood is ever so slightly too much, if we're really splitting hairs. That said, this is still stunning and drenched in honeys and nectars. With water: many more fruits with water, orange marmalade with spices, tangerine, peaches in syrup. At times it would make you think of one of these stunningly fruity old Vallein Tercinier Cognacs. The wood is quieter now and there's more exotic fruit teas, melon liqueur and honeys once again
timer Finish
long, warming, on honeycomb, sandalwood, lightly smoked teas such as lapsing souchong and touches of camphor once again
