Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔 속에 은은하게 감도는 이 브룩라디 1986은 20년 세월이 빚어낸 복합적인 결을 품고 있다. 코에는 오래된 가구와 니스, 호두와 구두약의 향이 겹쳐 열리고 그 사이로 향과 녹차, 마른 채소의 뉘앙스가 스민다. 입에서는 멜론과 살구, 잘 익은 오렌지와 파인애플의 과일이 부드럽게 번지고 뒤이어 백후추와 옅은 오크가 균형을 잡는다. 짧지만 정갈한 여운에 생강의 알싸함이 은은하게 감돌며 잦아든다.
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
