Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 호그스헤드에서 온 이 1989년 빈티지는 노즈의 어휘가 유난히 넓다. 꿀과 밀랍, 프로폴리스가 먼저 드러나고 말린 노란 과일과 바나나가 뒤따른다. 시간이 지나면 오래된 가죽과 니스, 낡은 자동차 실내를 연상시키는 뉘앙스가 잡힌다. 팰럿에서는 60.5도의 힘이 커피와 감초, 무화과와 피칸의 단맛을 밀어 올린다. 피니시는 길고 파이프 담배와 몰트의 잔향이 깊게 머문다.

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
