Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오크 캐스크에서 40년을 보낸 시간이 브루익라디 1966을 더없이 부드럽게 익혔다. 잘 익은 열대 과일과 꿀, 옅은 밀랍 향이 코끝에서 우아하게 피어오른다. 42도라는 낮은 도수에도 입에서는 무르익은 과실과 바닐라, 미네랄이 매끄럽게 흐른다. 비피트 시절 아일라의 깊이가 옅은 황금빛 잔에 담겨, 여운은 부드러운 오크와 시트러스로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
this one is maybe a little closed, it seems to need quite some breathing. Indeed, it does start to exhale a blend of various fruity notes after a few minutes: apricots, mirabelle plums, rose jelly, very ripe strawberries, litchis… Not unlike a young gewürztraminer. Gets more and more apricoty, before it starts to switch to rather soft spices such as nutmeg, white pepper, cinnamon… Also dried ginger and whiffs of mint and eucalyptus. Quite some oaky notes as well but it’s not overly woody, despite its old age. Goes on with a little fudge, vanilla, empty wine barrel (but no sulphur)… More an elegant and discreet Longmorn than a wham-bam one
restaurant Palate
lots of presence, starting on tannins and tinned pineapples, tangerines, apricots again… Lots of oak but it’s not overwhelming the malt, thanks to the rather heavy fruity notes. Again, something of an old sweet white wine. Lots of ginger and white pepper, and also something very salty. Much more demonstrative than on the nose, which is infrequent with such old malts. What’s more, the finish is very long, sweet, gingery and peppery – and of course a little drying. In short, a good oldie, with lots of tannins but also lots of fruits. 88 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: Saskatchewan's Colin James does Better days.mp3 , from his 1995 album 'Bad habits'. Easy but rather irrefutable, I think. Please buy Colin James' music.
