Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
일본 나가노 가루이자와 고원의 산공기와 사계절 큰 온도차가 1984 빈티지 30년 셰리 숙성에 농축된 결을 새겼다. 잔에는 짙은 마호가니 색이 잠겨 있고 노즈에는 셰리가 풀어놓은 건자두, 다크 카카오, 가죽의 향이 깊게 머문다. 입에 들어오면 61.4도의 알코올과 함께 흑설탕 시럽, 무화과 잼, 시가 잎의 풍미가 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 여운은 닫힌 가루이자와의 깊은 셰리와 묵은 오크로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
coffee
air Nose
coffee. No, I’m joking, there’s much more than just coffee. Old Demerara rum, all raisins, all chocolates, all fruitcakes, and all crystallised fruits. Remember we were talking about Glenfarclas 105 when we tasted the 1999-2000? Well, there sure is a Glenfarclasness to this, but that would rather be a 1952 or a 1953. Much less smoky/mineral aromas than in other old sherried Karuis, and much more Speysidy roundness. Some pipe tobacco, prunes, and old armagnac. No wonder it’s for the French market (ooh that’s smart, S.!) With water: h.u.r.r.a.y. All earthy things come out, old cigars, clay, teas, roots, mushrooms, mosses… Fabtastic development once water’s been added
restaurant Palate
immense, huge, colossal. Invades you, conquers you, beats you. Imagine 60% old amontillado, 20% old PX, 10% super-ristretto Naples-style, and dried morels, tobacco, liquorice, salmiak… Well, anything black once again. Yes, even tar. With water: shhh…
timer Finish
shhh…
