Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 말린 무화과가 중심 마커로 두드러지며 건포도와 대추야자가 뒤를 받친다. 볶은 몰트와 커피 리큐어의 향이 층을 이루고 버섯 같은 눅진한 뉘앙스도 감지되어 오랜 병 숙성의 흔적을 보여준다. 팰럿은 건포도와 고기 육수 같은 감칠맛이 이어지며 파이프 담배와 구운 빵, 호두와 오렌지가 나란히 전개된다. 43도의 질감은 다소 가볍다. 피니시는 중간 길이로 버섯과 담뱃잎이 남는다.
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
