Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 비피트 시절 브룩라디 특유의 깔끔한 보리와 해안 내음이 먼저 두드러진다. 1986년 증류해 18년을 보낸 아일라 몰트다운 잘 익은 과실과 미네랄이 뒤를 받친다. 입에서는 57.5도의 도수가 보리의 고소함과 시트러스, 옅은 소금기를 또렷하게 밀어 올린다. 비피트 아일라 몰트다운 산뜻한 질감이 중심을 잡는다. 피니시는 미네랄과 오크, 옅은 소금기의 여운이 길게 이어지며 18년 숙성의 균형이 단단하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pure gold
air Nose
another planet, obviously. Starts on superb notes of old furniture, cellulose varnish, ‘new’ Chinese lacquered cabinet, old walnuts, shoe polish… There’s also quite some incense before the whole gets much more vegetal (green tea, celeriac, salsify) and finally a little camphory and slightly sour (curry). Hints of lamp petrol, paraffin, fusel oil. Little sweetness or roundness here, the whole is very dry, nicely so that is
restaurant Palate
a soft, dry and woody attack (no excessive tannins though) followed by a great fruity bunch (the trademark melons and apricots but also bananas, very ripe oranges and pineapples, tinned papayas…) Then we have the rather soft spices (soft paprika, white pepper, curry) and finally the oak, with quite some tannins now, plantain and a little mint. Excellent although not too bold, on the verge of getting a little weak
timer Finish
rather short but balanced and subtly spicy (a little ginger, touches of mustard). Very, very good but maybe two or three more degrees would have been welcomed, it would have fetched more than 89 points . Bruichladdich 1986/2006 (57%, OB, cask #494, dark sherry) These sherried 1986’s from Bruichladdich’s are usually very good
