Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 짙은 금빛 아래에서 말린 무화과가 가장 먼저 신호를 보낸다. 코를 가져가면 버섯 같은 눅진한 향이 스치고 곧 건포도와 대추, 커피 리큐어, 볶은 맥아가 층을 이룬다. 한 모금 머금으면 건포도와 고기 기운이 함께 밀려오고 파이프 담배와 구운 빵, 호두가 뒤를 잇는다. 삼킨 뒤에는 버섯과 담뱃잎이 중간 길이로 남아 1978년 셰리 우드가 만든 오래된 표정을 확인시킨다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
it got a little mushroomy. Watch the corks and always make sure, if possible, that these bottles have been kept standing; indeed, even when the level is good. Having said that, it remained rather awesome, on many dried figs (a main marker) and with a complex nuttiness. Sultanas, a little parsley, dates, sage, coffee liqueur, melon liqueur, roasted malt…
restaurant Palate
similarly raisiny, slightly meaty, with a little pipe tobacco, roasted nuts, toasted bread, a PX-ness (indeed) and the usual walnuts and oranges. These 43% vol. do feel a little out of fashion, but the core is all right, even if OBE has been striking for sure. OBE can be good or bad, naturally, in this case it was okay
timer Finish
medium, with even more mushrooms and tobacco
