Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
로시스의 캐퍼도닉은 글렌 그란트의 자매 증류소로 출발했다가 문을 닫은 스페이사이드의 잊힌 이름이다. 오크 캐스크에서 38년을 보낸 1968 빈티지는 잔에 깊은 호박빛으로 잠긴다. 향은 잘 익은 열대과일과 꿀, 밀랍이 농축된 듯 그윽하게 솟아오른다. 입에서는 56.3도의 도수가 망고와 살구, 오크의 진한 단맛을 매끄럽게 풀어낸다. 여운은 옅은 향신료와 묵은 오크가 아주 길게 남아 반세기 숙성의 깊이를 전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
right, that won’t happen today. This one’s extremely fresh, floral and honeyed at first nosing, with a rather superb oakiness. It gets then quite mashy but beautifully so, with notes of Orval beer (one of the best Belgian beers as far as I can tell), mashed potatoes, apple skin and porridge. Lots of porridge. Then it’s mint and fresh almonds, maybe hints of paraffin… And always this beautiful oakiness. It seems that The Bottlers do not only specialize in great sherry casks
restaurant Palate
excellent attack, bold but very precise and compact, fruity (tangerines), ‘natural’, with much less mashy notes. Quince jelly, crystallised oranges. Nice clean mouth feel. Gets more liquoricy after a while, with these notes of Belgian beer coming through now (trappiste). Truly assertive and compact. And clean
timer Finish
long, candied, fresh, orangey… And very satisfying. Now, I feel it was a little less complex on the palate than on the nose. I’d say 88 points would do. Caperdonich 38 yo 1968/2006 (56.3%, Duncan Taylor, cask #2616)
