Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 폐쇄된 밴프 증류소의 1976년 빈티지답게 묵은 밀랍과 말린 사과, 들꽃 꿀이 두드러진다. 23년 숙성과 55.4도의 알코올이 균형이 단단한 구조감을 만든다. 한 모금 머금으면 살구잼과 캐러멜, 보리 사탕이 발전하며 알맹이가 잡힌다. 피니시는 노란 과일과 가벼운 향신료가 또렷이 깃든 채 길게 이어진다. 사라진 증류소의 흔적이 홀마크 오브 세인트 제임스의 손에서 명확하게 보존되었다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
starts with rather a lot of greenery, dandelions, daffodils, honeysuckle, heather, lemon curd and damp ferns - that forest after rain aroma known as petrichor, which I love. With time it opens up a little starts to develop this familiar waxy side, although it remains overall pretty fragrant, heathery and nicely sappy with these notes of tree bark and sandalwood. You can also add moss and a wee whiff of tobacco leaf. With water: develops towards chalk, limestone, gravel and baking parchment. Rather pure, clean and mineral. Some lemon and mint tea as well perhaps
restaurant Palate
superb arrival, punchy, grassy, wonderfully oily, waxy, mineral and camphory with - yes - that wee Banff mustardy aspect. Really terrific on the palate! Some salted honey, heather ale, caraway and herb infused fruit teas. With water: brilliant, big, broad, hefty, waxy, fatty in texture and with a big, pervasive spiciness. Again that mustardy note alongside some green tea
timer Finish
long, oily, lemony, chalky, waxy and peppery
