Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1차 충전 버번 캐스크에서 42년을 보낸 그레인 위스키 특유의 코코넛과 바닐라, 잘 익은 망고가 두드러진다. 지금은 사라진 로랜드의 간헤스 증류소가 1967년 증류한 이 원액은 43.8도로 부드럽게 가라앉아 있다. 팰럿은 토피와 크렘 브륄레, 열대 과일로 발전하며 단맛이 두껍게 느껴진다. 피니시는 가벼운 오크 스파이스와 꿀이 길게 이어진다. 반세기 가까운 올드 그레인의 농축된 균형이 또렷하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
very ‘old grain’ at first nosing, that is to say all on coconut milk and vanilla custard, resembling a high quality pina colada if I may say so. Some delicate whiffs of crushed mint leaves arising after a while, just touches of camphor and eucalyptus, and then just a little leather and old turpentine. All that is very elegant and rather more terpenic than most old grains we know (old Invergordons, Carsebridges and such). Hints of marshmallows
restaurant Palate
it’s the wood that talks first now, with some tea and bitter almonds. Walnuts. Rather drying. Marshmallows and juicy fruits are only in the background, together with a little coconut again. It’s good but one shouldn’t have waited two more minutes before bottling this baby
timer Finish
medium, with good balance. Great news, it didn’t get any oakier at this stage
