Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
연한 금빛이 오래된 병 속에서 잔잔하게 빛난다. 1970년에 증류된 로열 브랙클라는 16년 숙성과 함께 들꽃과 잘 익은 배, 옅은 꿀의 향을 단정하게 피워 올린다. 한 모금은 과수원 과일의 부드러운 단맛과 보리의 고소함이 매끄럽게 번지며 옛 스타일 특유의 정갈함을 전한다. 40도의 낮은 도수는 자극 없이 둥글고 보드랍게 흐른다. 여운은 은은한 꽃향과 꿀이 짧지만 깔끔하게 이어지며 차분하게 마무리된다.
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
