Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 기울여 돌리면 깊은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 따라 느리게 흘러내린다. 코끝에 가져가면 50년을 보낸 인버고든 그레인다운 코코넛과 바닐라, 잘 익은 망고 향이 진하게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 반세기의 숙성이 다듬은 부드러운 곡물 풍미가 혀에 퍼지고 43도의 차분한 도수가 버터스카치와 오크를 드러낸다. 삼키고 나면 달콤한 크림과 열대 과일이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
as you probably know, very old spirits tend to converge, and in this case, we could as well be in Cognac, or it could be some super-old light rum. What I get is mostly milk chocolate and cigarette tobacco, then raisins and dried dates, then quite some praline and honeydew. It is a very elegant nose, very easy, and pretty Christmassy indeed. Although there are hints of coconut and vanilla in the background
restaurant Palate
all creamy easiness this time, but rather than Cognac, this could be bourbon. Which, agreed, is only normal. Coconut cream, vanilla cake, maple syrup, a touch of honeydew again, and repeat. Very, very, very smooth and easy. What’s impressive is the fact that it’s not tired at all, just very, very smooooth
timer Finish
medium, with more sweet oak, and always plenty of coconut cream. Some Grand-Marnier in the aftertaste
