Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
프레시 버번 캐스크에서 무려 40년을 보낸 시간이 부클라디 특유의 섬세함을 정점으로 끌어올렸다. 1964년 증류된 원액 위로 잘 익은 열대 과일과 꿀, 밀랍의 향이 그윽하게 번진다. 43.1도의 차분한 도수가 입안에서 망고와 바닐라, 부드러운 오크를 비단결처럼 풀어놓는다. 깊은 황금빛 뒤로 농익은 과일과 꿀의 여운이 길고 우아하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
very dusty at first nosing, with lots of caramel, cocoa and cardboard. Notes of praline, flour… Quite interesting in fact, with much more oomph than the rather poor Connoisseur’s Choice North Ports
restaurant Palate
really powerful and very sweet, getting hugely peppery and even quite peaty. It makes me think of Talisker in a certain way. Goes on with some caramel crème and vanilla sauce. The finish is long but a little drying. Anyway, a very nice surprise considering this distillery’s pedigree. 83 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: a strange encounter! Swedish member of Ensemble Nimbus Håkan Almkvist aka Orient Squeezers plays the sitar and all sorts of other Indian instruments on Kadesh.mp3 and Garuda.mp3 . Not exactly Ravi Shankar, but he's good, isn't he? Please buy his music - it's on their website.
