Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 탐두 원액으로 빚은 VXV 2000의 부드러운 스페이사이드 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 잘 익은 사과와 보리 단맛, 옅은 꿀이 명확하게 드러나며 15년 숙성다운 둥근 균형이 단단하게 잡혀 있다. 팰럿은 43.1도에서 매끄럽고 가벼우며 카라멜과 시트러스, 가벼운 오크 향신료가 차례로 발전한다. 피니시는 몰트의 잔잔한 단맛과 은은한 향신료가 적당히 이어지며 단정하게 마무리된다.
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)
