Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오크 캐스크에서 열다섯 해를 보낸 탐두의 시간이 1985년 병입된 올드 보틀링다운 농익은 과실로 펼쳐진다. 코에서는 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 옅은 셰리의 단내가 부드럽게 오른다. 43도의 입안은 과실 단맛과 토피, 은은한 향신료가 매끈하게 흐른다. 오랜 세월을 병 속에서 보낸 빈티지답게 둥글어진 결이 살아 있어, 짙은 황금빛 너머 여운은 따뜻한 단맛으로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
very expressive, starting quite phenolic and sort of resinous. Lots happening in there! Notes of spearmint, seawater and smoked tea with also quite some butter caramel and roasted nuts. Something metallic in the background (old bottle effect) as well as a little tar, old books and beeswax. Very complex for a mundane 10 yo OB, what a great surprise
restaurant Palate
ah yes, it’s very oomphy, starting with quite some salt (funny, that happens at the end usually) and lots of roasted nuts together with again these resinous and waxy notes. Goes on with earl grey tea, dried herbs (parsley, rosemary, sage etc.), mocha, a little bitter chocolate. It’s probably less bold on the palate and maybe a little less interesting but the finish is rather long, maybe a tad drying now but very coffeeish, with also notes of slightly burnt bread crust. Very good, even if another old Tamdhu 10 yo (late 1980’s) was a little creamier and more full-bodied. 88 points for this one. Tamdhu 15 yo (43%, OB for Germany, ceramic, 1980’s)
