Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
백포도주를 닮은 옅은 빛이 잔 속에 맑게 담긴다. 셰리 캐스크 피니시를 거친 1996년 원액이지만 향은 예상과 달리 담뱃잎과 발효된 당밀 같은 독특한 결로 열려 흥미를 끈다. 40도의 도수는 입안을 가볍게 만들지만 갓 구운 빵과 오렌지 꽃, 투론과 으깬 피칸의 고소한 단맛이 뚜렷하게 이어진다. 15년의 시간이 만든 균형이 조용히 드러난다. 여운은 중간 길이로 오렌지와 진저브레드의 향이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
unusual and, I have to say, intriguing, with quite a lot of tobacco and ‘nicer’ notes of stewed cabbage, then some rather clear notes of dunder rum, unless I’m dreaming. As I wrote, this is intriguing, and certainly more interesting than the moderately emotional OB
restaurant Palate
really very good, I’d have loved to find this at 46 or 50% (the whisky taster’s usual lament). Excellent bread and orange blossom, with a little cane juice (but still not sure there was some rum involved), candy sugar, perfect notes of ale, turron and crushed pecans, and just some good, solid bread. What’s better than good bread?
timer Finish
medium, with welcome touches of oranges and a feeling of praline and gingerbread. Roasted coated peanuts
