Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 1964 빈티지 폐쇄 증류소 로크사이드 특유의 묵은 셰리, 마른 가죽, 무화과가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 48년이라는 긴 셰리 캐스크 숙성이 만든 정련된 결이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 팰럿에서는 41.2도가 부드럽게 입을 채우며 검은 차, 마른 자두, 옅은 향신료가 명확하게 드러난다. 사라진 증류소의 시간의 무게가 발전한다. 피니시는 길고 묵은 셰리와 마른 오크가 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
between rum and bourbon, with plenty of pencil shavings. Including pencil lead, mind you. And yet it remained soft like an angel, until more and more turpentine comes out. Along many compounds ending with –ol. I find this beautifully intriguing, but a little scary with regards to the palate. Let’s see…
restaurant Palate
the definition of smoothness. It’s a miracle that the oak didn’t take over, and only imparted notes of suntan lotion (right, coconut-based suntan oil). It’s all on pastries, shortbread, croissants, Danish cookies, butterscotch, amaretti… And there are even crystallised cherries somewhere… Maraschino? This is all very delicate, and anything but tired or over-oaked. A genuine miracle…
timer Finish
quite short, but still smooth and balanced. Hazelnut liqueur, perhaps, Werther’s Originals…
