Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
하일랜드 네언 강 곁에 자리한 로열 브래클라의 1992 빈티지다. 버번 캐스크에서 14년을 보내 옅은 황금빛을 띤다. 코에서는 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 바닐라와 갓 벤 풀의 청량함이 산뜻하게 피어난다. 입에서는 시트러스와 보리 사탕, 바닐라의 단맛이 매끄럽게 흐르고 57.9도의 힘이 또렷한 골격을 세운다. 여운은 옅은 오크와 곡물의 달큰함이 깔끔하게 이어진다.

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 .
