Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 폐쇄된 카스브릿지 그레인 위스키의 부드러운 바닐라와 코코넛으로 시작한다. 1979년 증류해 30년을 보낸 긴 숙성이 토피와 옥수수의 단맛, 옅은 오크를 또렷하게 끌어올린다. 팰럿은 크렘 브륄레와 잘 익은 바나나, 가벼운 향신료로 발전하며 그레인다운 매끄러운 질감이 중심을 잡는다. 52.3도의 무게가 안정적이다. 피니시는 바닐라와 마른 오크로 길게 이어지며 사라진 증류소의 결이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full amber
air Nose
an ode to old age and certainly not an elegy. Wonderful freshness, maybe even more freshness than in the 1970 and 1973. Superbly floral, with whiffs of fruit salad (quite some melon) and ripe apricots, various honeys and just a little eucalyptus. Little smoke but these fruity notes grow even bolder, with even more apricot (also as jam) and then natural vanilla. And guess what, no obvious oaky/tannic tones, which is a miracle. Amazing nose
restaurant Palate
not a powerhouse of course but it’s not thin, not weak, not tired, not drying and not cardboardy. In other words, a succession of other tiny miracles, it’s one to sip religiously (ah well). Notes of tobacco, banana skin, orange marmalade, tangerines, apricot again, then a more resinous development but once again, no excessive woodiness even if there is quite some ginger and cinnamon
timer Finish
not extremely long but the blend of these apricotty notes with a little pine resin and mint works perfectly well
