Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1968년 셰리 캐스크에서 숙성된 전설적 보모어의 잘 익은 열대 과일과 은은한 이탄 연기, 장미향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 25년의 숙성으로 훈연은 부드러워지고 망고와 패션프루트, 가벼운 바다 내음이 명확하게 발전한다. 팰럿은 43도의 부드러운 질감 위로 잘 익은 과일과 꿀, 옅은 그을음이 또렷한 구조감을 이룬다. 피니시는 열대 과일의 단맛과 은은한 연기가 길게 이어지며 차분하게 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
fresh, a little spirity, starting on notes of tea and something lightly minty (dried mint leaves). Also quite some citronella, lemon balm, developing on vanilla crème and light caramel. We have then whiffs of resin and cooked mushrooms (funny!), plus touches of eucalyptus and lots of various herbal teas (chamomile, linden tree, a little verbena). Not really bolder than the regular expressions (12-15-18) but certainly a little more complex
restaurant Palate
the attack isn’t too bold but neither weak, rather grainy (cereals) and getting quite perfumy (lavender sweet). Quite some wood in the background, a little liquorice and finally something a little bitter – not too nice now, like some strong, un-sugared herbal tea. Notes of orange skin. A rather short, but very herbal and tea-ish finish… Well this one has quite some personality! An interesting dram, no doubt. 79 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening - Oldies but goldies (Nick, don't laugh!): 1965, Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie aka Lulu sings Try to understand.mp3 . Wasn't it groooovey? And she's still around, isn't she? Anyway, let's all buy Lulu's music... (unless some have the LP's in their attics...) And no, it's not going to be Petula Clark bext time... Nor Peter Skellern!
