Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
캠벨타운의 짭조름한 해풍이 보리밭을 스치는 항구 마을의 공기가 한 모금마다 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 32년 숙성된 시간이 잔 속 호박빛으로 가라앉는다. 부르봉 오크의 바닐라가 먼저 코끝을 두드린 뒤 마른 풀과 옅은 짠 기운이 따라온다. 입에서는 견과의 고소함이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 1966년 빈티지의 54.6도 알코올은 단단하면서도 부드럽고 여운에는 미네랄한 짠맛이 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
the first feeling we get at first nosing is complexity. First there’s hints of old sweet wine (Sauternes) and then it’s coal smoke, gunpowder and flints, together with notes of smoked ham and faint hints of truffle. Gets then even smokier, with a little peat, something faintly maritime (sea breeze), roasted nuts, a little cough syrup (eucalyptus), hints of pine needles... More mint after that, wet moss, fern, cigar box… Keeps developing for a very long time, quite kaleidoscopic, with the notes of coal smoke and mint as permanent features. Amazing complexity. With water: keeps developing, this time more on turpentine and game, with even hints of beef stock
restaurant Palate
very big, rich, powerful, exactly cough syrup this time. Eucalyptus, camphor, mint, then ginger, crystallised lemon, pepper… Hints of tannins in the background, and quite some tar as well. Very big. With water: gets more on oranges and other citrus fruits, with a bigger spiciness as well
timer Finish
long, slightly salty, half orangey and half minty. Slight dryness from the wood
