Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌리면 깊은 황금빛이 두껍게 잔 벽에 매달린다. 코를 가져가면 꿀과 꽃가루, 밀랍이 층을 이루고 설탕에 절인 과일의 인상이 뒤따른다. 53.2도를 한 모금 머금으면 오래 우린 홍차와 절인 감귤 껍질, 라놀린의 기름진 질감이 입천장을 천천히 덮는다. 물을 몇 방울 더하면 오렌지 마멀레이드와 시럽에 잠긴 복숭아가 열린다. 삼킨 뒤에는 벌집과 백단, 훈연한 차가 길게 남는 로컬 발리다.
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
