Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1976년 빈티지 밴프 특유의 잘 익은 트로피컬 과일과 버번 호그스헤드의 바닐라 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 40년 숙성이 만들어낸 깊이가 명확하게 드러나며 카덴헤드 175주년 셀렉션의 51.2 도수가 향의 농도를 단단히 잡는다. 팰럿에서는 농축된 망고, 잘 정돈된 오크, 가벼운 향신료가 순차적으로 발전하고 사일런트 디스틸러리 밴프 특유의 정제된 캐릭터가 균형이 단단하다. 리필 호그스헤드의 가벼운 우드 영향이 곡물의 직선적 캐릭터를 살린다. 스페이사이드 캐릭터의 부드러운 과실감이 우드 영향과 균형을 만든다. 피니시는 길고 부드러운 우드 잔향이 또렷하다.

it’s a well-known fact that Banff is growing on you. It was never an obvious dram, and apart from some Rare Malts, there’s never been any OBs if I’m not mistaken. Plus, people rather remember that the distillery was destroyed several times, both by fires and by the Luftwaffe. Now this one’s full of Banffness, with two opposite sides that manage to meet on your nose, metal polishes and engines oils on the one side, and mangos on the other side. Are you following me? There’s also some fern, then mosses, humus, mushrooms, and a kind of medicinal chalk – or rather some kind of embrocations. I’d rather say that it’s an intellectual dram. With water: manure-y herbs! We’re in the countryside

this is massively fruity, while the oak’s shooting spices as if there was no tomorrow. Green curry, turmeric, white pepper, ginger… That creates a whirlwind of flavours that sometimes meet, and sometimes don’t, which leads to a funny, and pretty lovely feeling of having several whiskies at the same time. No dissonances though, it just works, I couldn’t tell you why or how. With water: huge! Same feeling of free whisky as in free jazz, with nothing quite in sync, and yet it’s a whole. Herbs, grasses, green tea… The oak sure is having its say
