Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 흔들면 깊은 황금빛이 잔 안쪽을 느리게 휘감는다. 코를 가져가면 밀랍과 마른 건초, 잘 익은 배의 향이 차례로 피어오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 50도의 단정한 도수가 입안을 고르게 데우며 꿀과 오래된 오크, 옅은 향신료가 번진다. 1971년에 증류돼 28년을 보낸 콜번은 오래전 문을 닫은 스페이사이드 증류소라 이 한 잔이 곧 사라져가는 시대의 기록처럼 느껴진다. 삼키고 나면 마른 풀과 꿀의 단맛이 은은하게 가라앉는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
we aren’t far from the 1968 but this is less expressive and more on milk and porridge at first nosing. Tapioca, oatcakes, then more soot and grass, green tea, fresh mushrooms... Also whiffs of chives and rosemary, wet gravel, fresh cement and then more and more cut grass. Austere, very austere… With water: more grass and a little custard. Clay
restaurant Palate
certainly creamier and fruitier than the 1968, with more lemon and orange zests on top of the very grassy and spicy profile. Capsicum again, juniper berries, grapefruits, earth, fresh mushrooms, peat… In truth, it’s quite a beast. With water: it got wonderful! Perfect earthy style, with just the right amount of pepper and smoke and many candied lemons and kumquats in the background
timer Finish
very long, on lemon zests, pepper and even a little wasabi
