Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
세 통의 버번 배럴과 한 통의 올로로소 셰리 캐스크가 만난 44년의 시간이 1964년 빈티지 보모어의 신화적인 캐릭터로 드러난다. 2009년 병입된 이 골드 시리즈는 아일라 전설의 오랜 시간 정수를 담고 있다. 노즈에는 트로피컬한 망고와 패션프루트, 옅은 피트 연기가 겹친다. 입에서는 마른 시트러스와 가벼운 꿀, 짭조름한 미네랄이 42.4퍼센트에 실려 우아하게 흐른다. 짙은 황금빛이 잔에 비치고 옛 보모어의 풍채가 여운에 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
suitably deep gold
air Nose
what's so fun about going to this from the 1967 is seeing the immediate impact of extra decades of ageing. Here it delivers far more honeys, waxes and resins up front, but also adds a more syrupy profile to the fruits. Everything is still superbly exotic but more concentrated and even rather oily. Tangerines, mango, guava and grapefruit but all preserved, crystallised or pulped! The collected gunge and mush of a tropical fruit salad - spiked with a shot of very old yellow Chartreuse! Frankly, it's all rather outrageous and at this stage we would traditionally call the anti-maltoporn brigade
restaurant Palate
one of those whiskies that manages to wear its age and wood with utter class! Precious and exotic hardwood resins, sandalwood, gorse flower and putty along with linseed oils, waxes, hessian and an intricate display of preserved fruits. Not only exotic but also touches of red apple, lime and peach in syrup. That's without even mentioning all the herbs and medicines that also appear. What is just so overwhelming is the sheer, unashamed juiciness of it all. It is (almost) literally like drinking some kind of outrageous pina colada
timer Finish
lengthy and just fruits piled upon fruits. Interlaced with honeys, resins, herbal medicines and the most gloriously warming and exotic of aftertastes
