Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 벌집에서 오는 요소들이 압도적으로 두드러진다. 꿀과 밀랍, 화분과 프로폴리스가 층을 이루고 그 위로 말린 사과와 무화과, 배가 겹친다. 뒤로 갈수록 오래된 도서관의 니스와 가죽 같은 3차 아로마가 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 커피와 감초를 넣은 케이크처럼 녹아들며 건포도와 호두, 파이프 담배로 발전한다. 60.5도의 도수임에도 버번 호그스헤드의 결이 흐트러지지 않는다.

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?
timer Finish
sublime. Nothing more to say
