Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1972년에 증류된 카퍼도닉이 무려 38년을 보낸 끝에 짙은 황금빛을 잔에 또렷이 깃들게 한다. 코끝에는 잘 익은 망고와 농축된 꿀, 폐쇄된 증류소가 남긴 오래된 우드 노트가 먼저 올라온다. 한 모금에는 빽빽한 열대 과실과 가벼운 향신료, 매끄러운 토피가 미끄러지듯 흐른다. 52.6도의 도수가 던컨 테일러 레어 올드의 보틀링답게 사라진 증류소의 정취를 길게 비친다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
ah yes, it’s one of these extravagant ones. Incredibly fragrant, with as many dried fruits and flowers as God had created. Not much else to say, except that it’s also amazingly ‘beehivy’. You know, honeys, waxes, pollens, nectars… And no stings. Utterly seductive, Raquel Welsh made whisky (stay sober next time, S.!) With water: awahouwahoo! (that was a lost tribe’s dialect)
restaurant Palate
it’s not whisky, it’s syrup, or a liqueur. And many spices, and mirabelle liqueur, and mead… Now, maybe the oak is a tad too loud? Just a tad? With water: hurray! Not more big oak, rather (even) more jams, honeys and ripe fruits. What a cavalcade
timer Finish
long, smooth and honeyed but not lumpish at all. Superb ‘responsiveness’
