Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅게 가라앉은 호박색이 잔에 그윽이 깃들어 있다. 아일라 브룩라디가 1964년 빈티지로 29년의 세월을 보낸 뒤 1995년 고든 앤 맥페일의 캐스크 스트렝스로 50.4도에 병입된 전설적인 보틀링이다. 향에는 오래된 밀랍과 잘 익은 사과, 잔잔한 바닷내음과 마른 허브의 결이 깊게 머문다. 입에서는 꿀과 견과, 미세한 광물성과 옅은 시트러스가 부드럽게 흐른다. 여운에는 노화된 오크의 잔향이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
these metallic notes that we already had in the 1973 are back, this time it’s more silverware and even old copper coins. Also a little pitch, saltpetre, tarry ropes… And then the trademark melons, coming together with kumquats. And toasted brioche. In truth this is a lovely nose, a little ‘antique’. With water: haha, the sootiness becomes wonderful! It’s all just like nosing the engine compartment of an old supercar (a Trabant should work too). Oils, Bakelite, rubber, petrol, metals…
restaurant Palate
it is, in a way, the 1973 with more oomph and backbone, maybe in a less complex manner. The sooty/metallic aspects that we found in the nose are still there, but the fruits do make up for that. More or less the same fruits as in the 1973, grapefruits, peaches and such. With water: sadly, it doesn’t swim too well. The fruits sing louder – which is very pleasant of course – but there’s also a kind of rubbery cardboard arising. Too bad!
timer Finish
long, sappy. Quite some peat smoke too, I hadn’t detected it before. What a taster!
