Tasting Notes
아일라의 카올 일라가 1984 빈티지를 리필 아메리칸 호그스헤드에서 33년 길러 고든 앤 맥페일이 코노쇠르 초이스 캐스크 스트렝스로 풀어낸 보틀링이다. 노즈에서는 잘 정제된 해풍과 옅은 그을음, 익은 자몽 노트가 가장 먼저 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿에서는 짠 미네랄과 절제된 피트가 중심을 잡고 시트러스와 가벼운 바닐라가 윤곽을 그린다. 52.8퍼센트의 알코올이 무게를 받친다. 피니시는 마른 연기와 짠 캐러멜로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold-amber
air Nose
to tell you the truth I think not all peaters, whether young or old, tango well with sherry, but in this case, some obvious balance has been found. We’re navigating around lit cigars and cedar wood, leather oil, fried bacon (I know, I know, cholesterol), dried kelp on a beach, plasticine, and the tiniest amount of new leatherette. Some camphor too. Love camphor. With water: always love it when metal polish comes out. More cigars
restaurant Palate
an oily texture, and first some kind of smoked Seville oranges with cloves and caraway, then walnut wine, roasted pecans, some very salty bacon, then rather lapsang souchong and wee bits of black tobacco, untipped Gauloise style. Bitter chocolate. Feels ‘darker’ than it is. With water: careful, water can make it really very dry, but at around 45%, it sings loud and clear, with rather more walnuts, grass, and spices. Nutmeg, for example
timer Finish
long, greatly bitter and dry, with more tobacco mingled with liquorice wood. A feeling of walnut stain, perhaps
