Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
진한 적호박빛이 잔 속에서 풍성하게 빛난다. 폐쇄 증류소 콜번이 1972년에 증류되어 리필 셰리 펀천에서 47년을 보낸 향은 셰리 캐스크 특유의 농밀한 건포도와 무화과, 다크 초콜릿, 그리고 묵은 가구의 고풍스러운 오크와 가벼운 가죽이 다층적으로 어우러진다. 한 모금에 62.4도의 강건한 캐스크 강도가 두툼하게 펼쳐지며 흑설탕 시럽과 마른 자두, 호두 페이스트, 후추의 스파이시한 터치가 차례로 흐른다. 고든 앤 맥페일 125주년 기념 보틀링이 다듬어낸 사라진 증류소의 강건한 여운.

air Nose
oh yes, crushed ripe bananas, menthol and the subtlest blend of honeys there ever was. Manuka's not too far away, remember Sir Hillary, who conquered Mount Everest, used to be a professional beekeeper in New-Zealand! But why am I telling you this? Mead as well, obviously, beeswax, high-class chardonnay,. Now despite this very old age, this baby was bottled at more than 60% vol., which is just incredible. What I mean is that water should make it more complex… With water: no changes as far as the main aromas are concerned, but each main one literally explodes and gives birth to tiny sub-aromas, such as many honeys, mentholy herbs, white wines and even tropical fruits such as, indeed, bananas, papayas and guavas
restaurant Palate
a wrestler for sure, with some tart spiciness and literally wheelbarrows of peppermint. With water: fantastic fruits, mints, very soft spices and, once again, honeys. Some piney notes might be a little loud but that's often the case with very old whiskies that spent their whole life in a single cask or two. Tend to become a little tea-ish, also. Ginger and cloves, cinnamon tea…
timer Finish
pretty long and rather all on mint, beeswax, and cinnamon. A tad drying but that's absolutely not unseen in such old whiskies, or brandies for that matter
