Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 들어 빛에 비춰 보면 1971년 증류된 밴프가 2008년에 도달한 짙은 황금빛이 흔들린다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 사라진 증류소가 남긴 잘 익은 사과와 마른 풀, 약한 송진 향이 차례로 올라온다. 한 모금을 입에 흘리면 37년의 시간이 농축된 빽빽한 단맛이 혀를 감싸고 데드 위스키 소사이어티답게 가는 산미가 그 사이를 빠져 나간다. 삼킨 뒤에도 53도가 남긴 미열이 입천장에 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it’s a rather rounder and fruitier version of an old Banff, smoother, with hints of old tequila and rhum agricole (a very peculiar grassiness) and an unexpected smokiness. Then we have many notes that we already had in the 1975, such as mushrooms, tobacco and eucalyptus/mint (Vicks). More and more vanilla coming through after a moment, as if this was re-racked in first fill bourbon. With water: the Banfiness (?) really comes out now. Spices, cough syrup and ‘farmyard after the rain’. I must say I find this quite perfect
restaurant Palate
sweet, rich and sharp at the same time, with bags of vanilla, lemon cream and wasabi (OK, tiny bags of wasabi). Very oily mouth feel. Notes of orange blossom honey, capsicum, a little cumin, bitter oranges, ginger liqueur… Again, it seems that some new or first fill oak has been involved at some point here. With water: perfect, creamy, fruity, grassy and spicy. In other words, it’s got almost everything
timer Finish
long, mentholated, peppery and honeyed. No obvious oakiness. Nice lemony notes in the aftertaste
