Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1976년 증류된 원액이 버번 호그스헤드 안에서 36년을 보낸 흔적이 향과 맛 전반에 또렷이 드러난다. 코끝에는 마른 풀잎과 옅은 바닐라, 흰 꽃잎이 가장 먼저 인사하고 49.8도의 자연 알코올이 단단한 골격을 받친다. 입에서는 잘 익은 살구와 꿀, 백후추가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 폐쇄 증류소 밴프의 시간을 환기시킨다. 잔에 잠긴 호박빛 위로 마른 시리얼 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
well, it's rather dry, but rather dry like an old grassy Demerara rum can be dry. There are actually touches of old rum, I also find a little olive oil, ink again, old toolbox, old garage. It's only after a good five minutes that more fruits come through, together with a little menthol. Raspberries and wasabi, how does that sound?

fruits! This time it's not a dry and drying old Banff, or say the dryness is balanced by citrus fruits. Phew! So lemons and tabasco, bitter chocolate with tangerines and peppered blood oranges. I wouldn't say it's an easy whisky, but the fruits really lift it and make it much more 'playable' than its bros. In the background, the usual pepper and mustard as counterpoints
timer Finish
quite long, lemony and peppery. Also a metallic fruitiness - that would be mangos, I guess
