Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
깊은 금빛이 잔 속에서 오래된 시간을 품고 있다. 1958년에 증류해 1983년 R. W. 두시가 병입한 이 원액은 기름진 결 위에 제비꽃과 라벤더를 스치는 뜻밖의 꽃향을 얹는다. 훈연한 차와 파이프 담배, 구두약과 살짝 탄 케이크의 냄새가 낮게 속삭이듯 겹친다. 46도의 입안은 엘더베리 시럽과 고산 약초 리큐어를 떠올리게 하고 호두 기름과 감초 나무의 쓴맛이 뒤를 받친다. 여운은 길고 수지와 멘톨의 서늘함 끝에 소금기가 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
oh this is unusual. It’s got the trademark greasiness for sure, but it’s also got unexpected floral scents, maybe even wee whiffs of violets, or maybe even lavender. But nothing to do with the repulsive lavender that could be found elsewhere, this is all very elegant again. Other than that, it’s rather more phenolic than the 1969, but it’s all quite whispering and, yes, refined. A little smoked tea, some light pipe tobacco, a little shoe polish, hints of burnt cake, old chardonnay, a small stalk of celery (perhaps)… All that is hugely complex
restaurant Palate
another world after the 1969, this has more stamina, more individuality, and some flavours are almost nowhere else to be found in my meagre experience. For example, these notes of elderberry syrup, or genepy liqueur, or light absinth… Maybe there’s more OBE here, but what a glory! And the metallic side is here as well, the shoe polish, the walnut oil, the liquorice wood… Please call them, I mean, the anti-maltoporn brigade! Thank you
timer Finish
quite long and beautifully sappy and mentholated, with more smoke and salt in the aftertaste. Almost an Islay in the aftertaste
