Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
북동 하이랜드 포츠소이 인근의 거친 해풍이 폐쇄된 밴프 1976의 결을 만든다. 잔에는 옅은 호박빛이 또렷이 깃들어 있고 29년의 시간이 빚어낸 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 옅은 견과의 향이 일어난다. 52도의 단단한 무게로 입안에서는 보리설탕과 옅은 짠맛, 그리고 잘 마른 풀의 풍미가 둥글게 펼쳐진다. 여운에는 시트러스와 밀랍의 매끄러움이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it seems that there’s much more oak influence here, as we’re starting on rather big whiffs of newly sawn wood, vanilla, ginger (or speculoos), then café latte, caramel and nutmeg (huge notes.) Banff’s markers aren’t quite there yet but the whole is pretty nice, even if it smells a bit like some malt that would have been re-racked in new oak or fresh bourbon. It’s only after a few minutes that whiffs of oysters and horseradish manage to come through
restaurant Palate
rich and creamy, rather closer to the OMC for a while (but with more spices and pepper), the rather heavy oakiness taking control after the attack, with something a little dry and tea-ish plus vanilla and a lot of ginger. Gets better once all that has mingled a bit, with more fruits (fresh oranges) and a more obvious ‘Banfness’ that shines through. You got it, mustard! A little peat too
timer Finish
long, still nervous, not too oaky (phew!) and spicy. Peppered apricots?
