Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
열두 해를 시즈닝한 올로로소 벗에서 보낸 원액은 잔에 부드러운 금빛으로 어린다. 향은 사탕수수 설탕의 단내가 먼저 열리고 뒤이어 곡물과 죽처럼 포근한 냄새가 따라오며 아주 옅은 연기가 배경에 비친다. 45.7도의 입맛은 코보다 힘이 있어 옅은 소금기와 감초, 진하게 우린 얼그레이가 이어지고 블랙베리 젤리와 제비꽃 사탕의 단맛이 잠깐 스친다. 부드러움과 거친 기운을 함께 지닌 이 1989년은 오래된 호두의 쌉쌀함을 여운에 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
sweeter and quite softer at first nosing, with indeed a little cane sugar this time (eh?) and much shier peatiness and smokiness. Even more mashed potatoes and grain in this one, the whole getting frankly porridgy after a moment, with even whiffs of horse sweat. Soft and wild at the same time
restaurant Palate
punchier and peatier than on the nose, slightly salty, with also quite some liquorice and earl grey tea (heavily infused). Hints of stout, violet sweets, blackberry jelly. Again this bitterness (more old walnuts here)
timer Finish
long, more ‘peaty and candied’. This one isn’t too winey, but one can feel it’s not ‘regular’ whisky and that ‘something’ happened. I liked the rum version’s cleanliness a little better I must say. 79 points . Another Roman label we made 'just for fun' a few years ago when that famous ‘fake Macallans’ issue occured. Benriach 12 yo 'Importanticus Fumosus' (46%, OB, Peated Port Finish, 2520 bottles, 2007) Do you spot ‘port’ in Importanticus?
