Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 시간을 닮은 깊은 구릿빛이 잔의 윤곽을 따라 흘러내린다. 1981년 콜번이 38년 숙성으로 고든앤맥페일의 프라이빗 컬렉션으로 풀려난 향은 잘 익은 모과와 살구 시럽, 베이킹 스파이스의 따스한 단내가 깊게 솟구친다. 한 모금에 55.9도의 강한 알코올이 풍부한 헤더 꿀과 헤이즐넛, 옅은 가죽의 풍미를 단단하게 받쳐낸다. 폐쇄 스페이사이드 증류소의 마지막 인사는 정향과 메이플 시럽의 자취로 두텁게 가라앉는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
bronze gold. When spirits got bronze-ish, or even greenish, that sometimes suggests some nails or patches have been in use. Or that a copper dog fell into the cask ;-)
air Nose
it’s different, less bright than the younger ones, but also more complex, with beautiful whiffs of old walnuts, manzanilla, marmalade, wormwood, caraway, aniseed cookies, and perhaps German all-grain breads. Beyond this very fino-ish character, some tamarind and some pretty umami-esque chen-pi (aged dried tangerine skins). With water: old leather couches and new cigars, plus some crude chocolate. And walnuts, naturally
restaurant Palate
some very spicy, almost curry-like oak at first, loaded with cinnamon and nutmeg. Then walnut skin liqueur (nocino) and some bitter artichoke cordial. Indeed, the oak’s very talkative here, but let’s see what happens once water’s been added. With water: imagine a cocktail made out of ¼ nocino, ¼ grapefruit juice, and ½ manzanilla. Shake well. Good news, the oak remained well-mannered, but indeed it is oaky, you feel it more in your throat
timer Finish
medium, drying. Cocoa powder, tobacco, mocha ristretto
