Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 호그스헤드가 입힌 맑은 황금빛이 잔 벽을 타고 미끄러진다. 코를 가져가면 로열 브래클라다운 오렌지 껍질과 들꽃, 옅은 향신료가 화사하게 솟는다. 한 모금을 머금으면 57.2도의 또렷한 질감에 꿀과 감귤, 바닐라가 산뜻하게 번지고 가벼운 오크가 받쳐준다. 삼킨 뒤에는 알싸한 후추와 꽃향이 혀끝에 길게 이어진다.

Colour
gold
air Nose
oh, there’s also a little peat in there! Much less, that is. Bold notes of citronella and stones, flints, with whiffs of rubber (rubber band), fresh mint leaves and cooking yellow plum jam. Quite rounded for such a high strength malt, very jammy, It gets then very winey but it’s more like a Sauternes or an Alsatian late harvest wine than like a sherry. Lots of very ripe fruits, bananas, ginger bread, … Let’s try it with a few drops of water: it gets a little grassier now, with notes of forest, fern and moss, pine needles, old papers… Great, it got even more complex
restaurant Palate
very sweet, astonishingly rounded and drinkable at more than 60%, very creamy, on tons of fruit jam again, orange salad with honey and olive oil (try that one day, it’s delectable), resin sweets, rubber, cough syrup… Excellent, I guess it was a refill cask. Let’s add water: oh, it gets even creamier and fruitier, on Xmas cake, candied kumquats, ginger. Quite some pepper, hints of cloves, fruit liqueurs… And always quite some rubber. The finish is very long, very bold and very fruity. One of these great old Bracklas, definitely, maybe there’s just a little too much rubber. 89 points .
