Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 옅은 황금빛이 잔벽을 타고 길게 흘러내린다. 코를 가져가면 33년의 세월에 둥글어진 아일라 피트가 레몬 껍질, 바닷바람과 함께 부드럽게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 54.5도의 기름이 혀를 적시며 훈제 생선과 왁스, 흰 후추가 차례로 드러난다. 버번 호그스헤드에서 오래 잠든 카올 일라를 삼키면 식은 재와 시트러스가 은은하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
typical old CI from these years between 1975 and 1985, with loads of almond oil, putty, marzipan, citrons and beeswax, then camphor, crème de menthe, sap and pine resin. With water: fresh putty on a house near the ocean, tarry ropes, kelp, and sourer notes of mashed turnips
restaurant Palate
absolutely superb and ridden with tiny herbs and flowers such as verbenas, wormwood, borage, sea bluebells (oysterleaf), spinach and sorrel. No less. With water: it would never lose steam, while the obvious oak would rather gear towards menthol and liquorice. It’s even all a little miraculous, if not totally fragile
timer Finish
this is where it’s having a little trouble, and that’s the oak. Teas, teas and teas, and mint
