Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 대체로 피트를 쓰지 않는 아일라 증류소 브룩라디의 신선한 셰리 단맛이 명확하게 드러난다. 훈연 대신 잘 익은 과일이 노즈에서 또렷하게 올라온다. 팰럿은 54.4도의 도수 위로 건포도와 보리 단맛, 가벼운 견과가 발전한다. 1986년 증류한 17년 숙성의 셰리 영향이 단단한 구조감을 만들고, 피니시는 마른 과일과 미네랄로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
very close to the 19 yo , maybe just a tad wilder and maybe peatier. Gets more expressive after a while although it’s still very grassy and nutty. Notes of fresh butter and oysters. Nicer than the older version on the nose. With water: that’s strange, it doesn’t seem to be such a good swimmer for it got quite cardboardy and even soapy (even after a good 15 minutes so it’s not just saponification). Too bad – but it doesn’t obligatorily ‘need’ water despite the 62%
restaurant Palate
sweeter, rounder and better balanced than the 19 yo . Quite some pepper, curry, chilli, peat, smoked tea and a pinch of salt. Quite drinkable at 62% - or is it me? With water: oh yes, it’s just perfect now, smoother but still punchy and assertive, with lots of oysters, pepper, citrons, lemons, nutmeg, paprika… Truly beautiful, this one, and the finish is magnificently compact, sweet and peaty, with a more than perfect balance and all the expected pepper. One worth looking for… 91 points (and thanks, Ho-cheng). CRAZY WHISKY ADS - Old Scotch and Old Values Recent US campaign for Ambassador Scotch . The baseline reads: 'Scotch for another era' . Well, let's just hope it's another era indeed. (Leo Burnett Chicago) MUSIC – Recommended listening: a very famous blast from the past, Julie Driscoll (now Julie Tippetts - she's much more into jazz since the 70's), Brian Auger and The Trinity doing Donovan's Season of the Witch.mp3 . Get prepared to read more about Brian Auger on WF in the foreseable future... And in the meantime, please buy his music!
