Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이강이 동쪽 모레이 만과 만나는 평지의 풍토에서 33년을 보낸 시간이 향과 맛 곳곳에 또렷이 비친다. 잔에는 연한 황금빛이 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 부르봉 캐스크의 영향으로 시리얼 단맛과 햇볕에 마른 들풀의 향이 먼저 올라온다. 입에서는 사과 껍질과 옅은 꿀이 부드럽게 풀린다. 44.2도의 노년 도수가 결을 누그러뜨리고 여운에는 마른 허브와 옅은 미네랄이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
and there you have it, mangoes and wee bananas rolled in vanilla cream, beeswax and a dab of olive oil, plus two or three fresh mint leaves tossed in for good measure. The result of this sort of combination is inevitably superlative, and one would never suspect this baby was 37 or 38 years old when bottled. For the time being, I find it clearly superior to the 1975 ‘The Cross Hill’ from the same source
restaurant Palate
it’s a touch more on the oaky side, but that was to be expected, and the whole remains well in check thanks to the fruit, this time veering more towards apple and peach. The oak delivers cinnamon, allspice, aniseed, turmeric and nutmeg, plus a touch of white pepper, but it’s all reined in by the apple, which keeps the shop running
timer Finish
fairly long, with the spices still firing away from the oak department, a little more aniseed-driven now, while the wax and very ripe apple wrap it all up most elegantly
