Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 차분히 자리한다. 1962년 폐쇄된 임페리얼이 증류한 원액을 셰리 우드에서 18년 숙성한 후 캐드넌헤드의 덤피 보틀에 담은 이 보틀링은 잘 익은 무화과와 절인 오렌지 껍질, 데운 꿀과 가벼운 가죽의 향이 우아하게 어우러진다. 한 모금 머금으면 46도의 절제된 도수가 셰리의 진한 단맛과 호두 껍질의 고소함, 옅은 정향의 매콤함을 차례로 풀어낸다. 사라진 증류소의 깊이가 정제된 셰리 윤곽으로 길게 흐른다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber-coffee
air Nose
ceps and other wonderful wild mushrooms, black trumpets, morels… That’s just the start, because it tends to go towards rhum agricole after that, with black olives and some sugar cane, then rather beef cooked in honey sauce, spare ribs in chilli sauce, soy sauce, umami, a box of cigars, very old oloroso (there must be some inside), or perhaps antique palo cortado… What an astounding complexity!
restaurant Palate
yeah, I know what may have bothered me a bit last time, it starts a little soapy and even ‘lavendery’, ala Bowmore from the 1980s. What’s much better is that it gets then immensely complex, totally deep, and fantastically tertiary. More cigars, more oils, more coal tar and pitch, more resins and saps, and more meaty, bouillony things. Like, indeed, wee pieces of ceps and morels, marrow, lard, chives, summer truffles… And chocolate. Yes, chocolate
timer Finish
medium, very chocolaty. Reminds me of that Mexican chocolate sauce, mole. Liquorice in the aftertaste
