Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 40년을 보낸 술이 짙은 적갈색으로 잔 안을 채운다. 코를 가져가면 셰리 버트가 남긴 말린 무화과와 오렌지 마멀레이드, 해풍에 절은 듯한 짠 단맛이 함께 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 농익은 건포도와 가죽, 오래된 나무의 향이 입 안을 묵직하게 채운다. 천천히 삼키면 흑설탕 같은 단맛이 입천장에 남고, 빈 잔에서도 깊은 향이 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
the Berliner Philharmoniker after a viola da gamba solo. It’s really beautiful and powerful, starting with this combo that I’ll always love in any whisky, beeswax, honey and yellow fruits. Apricots, mirabelles, yellow peaches… Goes on with herbal teas, some from the oak (with cinnamon), orange zests, and then some buttery old chardonnay. Buttery, not butyric! A touch of lovage and curry too, something Indian, rather indefinable. We should ask a very good Indian whisky taster, there are many
restaurant Palate
there’s almost the same amount of oak as in the Signatory, but this time it’s not solo, it’s complemented with some bold, sweetly spicy, err, spices. Stolle, masala, then fudge and a drier toffee, as well as this old chardonnay once again, with its buttery and nutty side. Always loved Meursault in my whisky, as long as it’s all about reminiscences and not straight wine. Sometimes I ramble on, I know
timer Finish
this is where it could have gone pear-shaped, but no. Which is a quasi-miracle. Medium, sweet and spicy, like some unknown cake that they would have baked just for you in India. Oh come on, not that kind. A little leather and walnuts in the aftertaste
