Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아메리칸 오크와 리필 셰리 호그스헤드가 함께 30년을 보내며 1973년 브룩라디에 보기 드문 깊이를 새겼다. 향에서는 잘 익은 멜론과 밀랍, 옅은 트로피컬 과일이 차례로 올라온다. 입에서는 40.2도까지 내려온 도수가 꿀과 보리, 은은한 오크를 부드럽게 풀어낸다. 비피트 아일라 몰트답게 맑은 황금빛을 띠며, 여운에는 잘 익은 과일과 마른 오크가 잔잔하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold

now I remember why I used to like the 1970 so much better. The oak talks first here, not the fruits. Having said that, it’s complex whisky, with touches of metal (old tools), the usual melon (more as a liqueur here) and then many herbal teas, especially tannic ones. Chamomile first! And cinnamon. After ten minutes, some unexpected notes of manzanilla and fresh walnuts – yup I know this is bourbon wood

it’s a little fragile. It’s very complex whisky but the structure is a little wobbly, if I may say so. A bitterness from the oak coats the whole (leafy feeling, chlorophyll). Touches of passion fruits, apples, lime blossom, a little eucalyptus, peaches, pink grapefruits, gooseberries… All nice but fragile
timer Finish
not the longest, as expected, and a notch green and papery
