Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 서안 린디스 만을 마주한 브룩라디는 토탄을 쓰지 않는 섬세한 아일라 몰트로 잘 알려져 있다. 1970년 증류해 18년을 보낸 이 오래된 보틀링은 잔에 옅은 황금빛으로 맑게 빛난다. 코에는 잘 익은 멜론과 보리, 옅은 소금기와 들꽃의 향이 또렷이 깃들어 있고, 46도의 부드러운 도수 속에서 꿀과 시트러스, 바닐라가 매끄럽게 입을 감싼다. 여운에는 보리 단맛과 옅은 바다 내음이 길고 깔끔하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
much less expressive than the Signatory, almost closed. Hey-ho! Notes of apple skins, grass, malt, grain, green barley… Maybe a little biscuit, cider… And again something slightly mineral but that’s all. Let’s try to break it open with a little water… Yes, that sort of works, the malt getting more mineral, more elegant, with something ‘delicately’ farmy, hay, clean dog… Good news!
restaurant Palate
almost overpowering and extremely fruity (apples and pears), getting rather bitter… We need water… Okay, it does improve again. Much more complex, with quite some liquorice, toffee, caramel, mocha, Cointreau… It gets even very good! Amazing what a few drops of water can do, sometimes. The finish is long, balanced (with water), on pastries and milk chocolate. It’s the winner, thanks to the water! 84 points . MUSIC – Very strongly recommended listening - Especially if you're in an adventurous mood, innovative guitarist Nels Cline doing an extremely energetic (OK, and noisy) Suspended Heat.mp3 with his Nels Cline Singers - no singers here. Play it loud and enjoy! Now, if you're more into Enya or the Bay City Rollers, I'd understand you hate it ;-). But what a f*****g superb player he is! Please, please buy his music...
