Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 윤기 도는 황금빛이 잔 안에서 흔들린다. 코끝을 대면 오크니 스카파다운 꿀과 잘 익은 배, 짭짤한 바닷내가 부드럽게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 50도의 매끈한 질감 사이로 바닐라와 시트러스, 미네랄이 번진다. 25년을 보낸 1974년 스카파를 삼키면 달콤한 과실과 옅은 소금기가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
ah, a sherry cask. Plenty of chocolate and earth, with ‘dryish’ raisins and some mushrooms. Touches of menthol and liquorice wood. Classic and classy, even if there isn’t a lot of Scapaness coming through this far. With water: old Sauternes and old-style crème de menthe. Some art deco whisky? That’s lovely. Some old Bourgogne as well, with hints of game, black cherries, more earth…
restaurant Palate
very good. Cough medicine and bitter oranges, with these touches of salt and some kind of liquoricy raisins. I remember this bottle had a rather high reputation when it came out – yes, how time flies. With water: very very good! Pinesap, mint, raisins, and chocolate. Love the freshness from the mint
timer Finish
long, a tad grapy, but not in a bad way at all. Hints of botrytised wine – old Sauternes indeed
