Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 잘 익은 바나나와 럼, 꿀로 문을 연다. 곧 유칼립투스와 레몬 버베나가 올라오고 구운 무화과의 단내가 아래를 받치며 향의 층이 넓어진다. 물을 더하면 밀랍과 꽃가루, 잘 익은 사과 쪽으로 발전한다. 리필 버번 캐스크에서 24년을 보내고 53.7도로 병입한 만큼 팰럿에는 힘이 있으며 허브차와 꿀, 잘 익은 살구가 겹친다. 캠퍼와 민트의 약재 뉘앙스가 인상적이고 피니시는 밀랍이 중심을 잡는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
well then, ripe bananas, rum and honey – we’re in. And then comes eucalyptus and lemon verbena, laid over some sumptuous roasted figs, grand-restaurant style. The G&M style, always somewhat distinct from the OBs and often a little more complex and less overtly oaky, is clearly in play here. With water: waxes and hand creams, moisturiser, pollen, ripe apples… We’re loving all of this
restaurant Palate
thank you for proving me wrong, this is now woodier than the OBs, though more in the direction of infusions and herbal teas, all steeped in honey. Plenty of very ripe fruits rather than dried or as jams, particularly apricots. With water: stop right there, it’s perfect – no need for more. The medicinal side is absolutely lovely, especially the camphor and mint notes
timer Finish
not overly long but balanced and elegant, with beeswax captaining the ship
