Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 스트라스밀의 1976년 원액이 옅은 황금빛으로 잔 벽을 타고 미끄러진다. 코를 가져가면 버번 캐스크가 키운 풋풋한 풀과 레몬, 바닐라 향이 섬세하게 올라온다. 잔을 더 돌리면 청사과와 보리 향이 깊어진다. 한 모금 머금으면 48.4도의 술이 맑은 과일 단맛과 옅은 꿀을 부드럽게 혀에 얹는다. 31년이 다듬은 깔끔한 시트러스의 여운이 잔잔히 사라진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
coffee
air Nose
starts like a very typical old sherry monster, with first quite some coffee, chocolate and wood smoke and then a development on dried fruits and old sweet wine/rancio. Figs, dates, fruitcake, dried bananas... Then we’re back on lit matches, and finally something meaty but not exactly beefy. Something like English brown sauce, cooked onions, ham... And prunes. Fresher than expected in any case, no excessive tannins whatsoever and a smokiness that grows bigger with time. Also cigar box, tobacco. A good surprise
restaurant Palate
a bit heavy now, hugely concentrated (cooked wine) but not exactly cloying. Big notes of spirit-soaked prunes, sultanas, cherry liqueur, liqueur-filled chocolates... Alas, it gets also a little too tannic, drying (strong black tea, apple skin, raw blackcurrants.)
timer Finish
long but thick and a little too drying. Pleasant mintiness, though, and a little icing sugar
