Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔 안쪽에 깊은 호박빛이 자리한다. 1970년에 증류된 로열 브래클라 16년은 오크 캐스크의 결이 단정하게 옮겨진 인상으로, 잔을 가까이 하면 마른 살구와 들꿀, 옅은 가구 왁스가 풀려 나온다. 한 모금 머금으면 시리얼의 단맛과 옅은 오크, 가벼운 시나몬이 미끄러지듯 흐르고, 40도의 절제된 도수가 산만함을 허락하지 않는다. 끝맛은 마른 풀과 옅은 향신료로 잔잔히 흐른다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold. All three, 12, 16, 21, bear the same colour – I wouldn’t do that
air Nose
wait, now we’re talking. Oils and herbal teas, always great signs. Mashed potatoes with borage flowers – cool! – plus shortbread and lime tree blossom. Sounds unlikely, it is not. After that, some artisan butter and a few ultra-fresh walnuts without their skins. It’s a very subtle nose, requiring a little concentration, but it’s totally worth it. Hints of old-style mead, made by good sisters
restaurant Palate
absolutely excellent. IPA (say Lagunitas – I’ve heard Heineken bought them, is that true?) plus fudge and caramel, with a subtle oily/herbal combination in the background. White asparagus, olive oil, a little marzipan just like in the 12, one bergamot, and a spoonful of genuine Swiss muesli. Plus a little candy sugar and custard to keep it rounded and mellow
timer Finish
medium, not short. Orange cake this time, and big time. Sponge finger cakes
