Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 두껍게 흔들린다. 같은 1987년 셰리 벗을 56.2도로 담은 이 캐든헤즈 보틀링은 벌집에서 나오는 모든 것, 즉 꿀과 밀랍과 꽃가루와 프로폴리스의 향이 앞서고 마른 노란 과일과 오래된 가죽, 낡은 서재의 먼지가 뒤를 잇는다. 입안은 커피와 감초 케이크처럼 녹아들며 무화과와 설타나, 호두와 피칸의 결이 하나씩 비친다. 여운은 길고 깊어 더 보탤 말이 없다.

air Nose
what can I tell you? Perhaps that even a complete dictionary of whisky aromas wouldn’t quite suffice. Up front, everything that comes from a beehive – honey, wax, pollen, propolis, fir wood… Then heaps of dried yellow fruits – apples, raisins, figs, pears, bananas… Then forgotten varnishes, leathers, waxes and embrocations, aromas you’d find in the dusty stacks of an 18th-century library. And to top it all off, those familiar notes of ‘vintage car’ from similar eras. Let’s say an old Jag from the 50s or 60s – how does that sound? And what brilliance to bottle this at 80°proof, roughly 46% vol. Okay, 45.85
restaurant Palate
immense, one of the GOATs of malt whisky, now melted into a kind of coffee and liquorice cake, yet with many distinct components still shimmering through – the honeys, the figs, a whisper of tar, the malt of course, sultanas, walnuts and pecans, and of course the queens of old-school sherry: the figs. Not forgetting the cognac and the mosto/paxarette, whose roles have always been debated quietly when no one else was listening. Ssh… Let’s not overlook the pipe tobacco and bouillons either, two pillars of this now sadly fading style. Have you rung the Anti-Maltoporn Brigade yet?

sublime. Nothing more to say
