Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈 첫인상은 1980년 보틀링된 로즈뱅크 20년 특유의 잘 익은 흰복숭아와 옅은 흰꽃의 향이 명확하게 주도한다. 20년 숙성된 캐스크의 영향이 바닐라와 마른 우드의 구조로 발전하며 57도의 캐스크 스트렝스가 단단하다. 팰럿은 보리 시리얼과 부드러운 꿀의 단맛이 입천장을 묵직하게 덮고 로우랜드 특유의 정밀한 보리 시리얼이 정연하게 드러난다. 피니시는 길고 후반에 흰후추와 마른 우드가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 로즈뱅크 언블렌디드 싱글 몰트의 진가다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
discrete and almost shy at first nosing, but things keep improving after a few seconds. Minutes actually... First there’s some unusual smoky notes, like a mixture of wood and coal, then it’s the leather and plain wood that arise (and cigar box), then pu-erh tea, then pure and plain peat smoke... The our beloved camphor and eucalyptus... Still not an ‘aromatic monster’ but water should probably help here. With water: not much changes, except for added meaty hints. Ham
restaurant Palate
wohoho, this is another story, even when undiluted. Big, big notes of crystallised citrus fruits (all of them), superb notes of quince jelly (and eau-de-vie – delightful), then all kinds of waxy and resinous touches, then an avalanche of various spices... All that with the citrus always present. Admirable palate and no need of water here, I’m sure
timer Finish
as long as Cleopatra’s nose (wtf?), always on lemons and oranges, with also a little ginger from the wood – a perfect wood, at that – and then loads of pepper. Well, this is a stunner of a Rosebank
