Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 아메리칸 호그스헤드와 유러피언 셰리 버트가 1982년 증류액을 35년간 어루만진 흔적이 또렷이 드러난다. 잔을 가까이 하면 갯바람 훈연과 마른 헤더, 노란 비파 향이 먼저 오른다. 한 모금 머금으면 짭조름한 미네랄과 굳은 꿀, 옅은 카카오가 58.1퍼센트의 무게에 실려 입천장을 천천히 덮는다. 깊은 호박빛 컬러로 카올 일라 특유의 해안 훈연이 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
hate it that I’m finding old chartreuse, an old penny book, a sack of kiwis, a bag of peaches, and just the right amount of French polish. And the freshest fresh shitake mushrooms. With water: ooh plasticine, church candles, barley water, clams and winkles, floated wood…
restaurant Palate
huge. This is of Montrachet quality, big, bold, very assertive, yet complex, yet full… It’s just mesmerising to find these ripe fruits that, I suppose, weren’t there right from the start (peaches again, papayas, pomegranates, prickly pears) topped with old mint cordials and some natural pine tar liqueur, argan oil, fresh almonds (which used to be very CI in the late 1970s and early 1980s). Just mesmerising… With water: floors you. And it is so fresh!
timer Finish
long, lemony, almost young, and rather more compact than before. This could have been the finish of a 15 years old. Some lemongrass
