Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가까이 가져가면 캠벨타운 보리밭의 흙내가 먼저 인사한다. 잔을 한 바퀴 돌려 깨우면 31년 버번 오크가 빚어낸 묵은 밀랍과 말린 살구가 천천히 일어난다. 한 모금을 머금으면 53.2도의 도수가 짠 기름과 미네랄 노트를 데리고 입천장을 미끄러진다. 삼키고 나면 1966년 빈티지 스프링뱅크 로컬 발리의 깊은 흙냄새가 입가에 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
the higher wattage is having an immediate impact, while we're starting this fully on quince paste, mirabelle jam and bergamottes sweets from Lefèvre-Lemoine's in Nancy (I believe it's time to restore those to favour). Then we find a little salted butter caramel, some pretty tannic honey (chestnut and compadres) and a few touches of old wood, old book… With water: some paraffin, some church candles, some pine wax…
restaurant Palate
the oak is very present on the palate, as well as notes of old bourbon of high quality (Old Fitzgerald), some custard, dates filled with marzipan, abundant candied fruits, a few burnt walnuts… With water: herb tea, infusions, green tea, all that a tiny bit oversteeped; that's the oak that keeps expressing itself in a beautiful manner. A camphory side and some crème de menthe
timer Finish
long and constantly improving, which is not very common, in my opinion. Superb return of all candied fruits, cherries, orange zests, and even angelica. The signature is even more on menthol
