Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 사라진 인버네스 증류소 글렌 알빈의 진한 토피와 카다멈 같은 향신료, 마른 보리 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 62도의 높은 도수답게 시간이 지날수록 꿀과 오렌지, 옅은 흙내음이 명확하게 발전한다. 팰럿은 두껍게 입안을 채우며 토피의 단맛과 향신료, 구운 견과가 단단한 구조감을 이룬다. 피니시는 캐러멜의 단맛과 후추의 매운기가 길고 건조하게 이어지며 묵직하게 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
sumptuously old-school with a puff of cigar smoke rolling through some rather earthy teas (think some stormy old pu-ehr), then a saucy shift towards marmalade jus, roast duck à l’orange style, ha, followed by those wonderfully evocative dusty old tomes and glossies banished in your attic. Drifts of wax and beehive honey appear too, as though a rogue swarm had taken up residence in the rafters half a century ago. Right…
restaurant Palate
classically salty, metallic, loaded with chalk and concrete dust, and that familiar photolytic tang you sometimes get with some old bottles (taste of light). But here it's briskly corrected by a jolt of spicy beef broth, straight from a Bangkok street corner (that's enough two-penny travelogue, S.) With that lush oiliness you only find in those venerable blends where the malt content did the heavy lifting
timer Finish
curiously persistent, as if someone had sneakily boosted it to 45% vol., with the orange bouncing back to tango with the mineral notes and bouillon spices
