Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 살짝 흔들자마자 벌집에서 나는 듯한 향이 곧바로 코를 찌른다. 꿀과 밀랍, 꽃가루가 먼저 열리고 뒤이어 말린 사과와 무화과, 오래된 니스와 가죽 냄새가 층을 이룬다. 60.5도를 한 모금 머금으면 입안이 곧장 뜨겁게 차오르고 커피와 감초, 건포도와 피칸이 뒤엉켜 지나간다. 버번 호그스헤드에서 온 밀랍 같은 질감이 혀에 계속 붙어 있다. 삼킨 뒤에는 파이프 담배와 말린 무화과가 오래 남는다.

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
