Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들고 잠시 기다렸다 코를 넣으면 처음에는 후추와 바니시 같은 날카로움이 닫혀 있다가 이내 담배와 젖은 낙엽으로 열린다. 뒤로 건포도와 프랄린, 커피가 스친다. 한 모금을 머금으면 48.8도가 제 몫을 하며 초콜릿과 젖은 흙, 호두가 또렷하게 지나가고 세비야 마멀레이드의 쌉쌀한 단맛이 뒤를 받친다. 아마로네 피니시를 거친 이 22년 원액은 삼킨 뒤 진저브레드를 길게 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
modern, rather peppery and slightly varnish-tinged sherry. So a little closed and with an acetic sharpness at first. However, this opens nicely with time and we're into quite pleasurable tobacco and leaf mulch territories. Some sultana, praline and coffee too. Quite reminiscent of the old OB 12 yo in some ways. I find the nose simple but very attractive
restaurant Palate
good arrival, nice power, the ABV does some fine work here. Chocolate, tobacco, wet leaves, damp earth, walnuts - all very classical, typical and easy. You may add sultanas once again, and some nicely bitter Seville marmalade
timer Finish
good length, warming, gingerbread, dark fruits and a little touch of hessian and earthiness
