Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
금빛이 잔에 맑게 퍼진다. 1966년 증류액을 스물아홉 해 가까이 담아낸 이 위스키의 향은 첫인상부터 복잡하다. 소테른을 닮은 단맛이 잠깐 스치고 곧 석탄 연기와 화약, 부싯돌의 냄새가 자리를 차지한다. 훈제 햄과 송로버섯, 바다 바람과 솔잎이 차례로 열리며 끝없이 발전한다. 입은 유칼립투스와 장뇌, 민트의 서늘함이 앞서고 생강과 설탕에 절인 레몬, 후추가 뒤따르며 타르의 쌉쌀함이 받친다. 여운은 길고 짠기와 오렌지, 민트가 함께 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
the first feeling we get at first nosing is complexity. First there’s hints of old sweet wine (Sauternes) and then it’s coal smoke, gunpowder and flints, together with notes of smoked ham and faint hints of truffle. Gets then even smokier, with a little peat, something faintly maritime (sea breeze), roasted nuts, a little cough syrup (eucalyptus), hints of pine needles... More mint after that, wet moss, fern, cigar box… Keeps developing for a very long time, quite kaleidoscopic, with the notes of coal smoke and mint as permanent features. Amazing complexity. With water: keeps developing, this time more on turpentine and game, with even hints of beef stock
restaurant Palate
very big, rich, powerful, exactly cough syrup this time. Eucalyptus, camphor, mint, then ginger, crystallised lemon, pepper… Hints of tannins in the background, and quite some tar as well. Very big. With water: gets more on oranges and other citrus fruits, with a bigger spiciness as well
timer Finish
long, slightly salty, half orangey and half minty. Slight dryness from the wood
