Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에 잠긴 빛은 짙은 호박빛이다. 보모어가 1966년에 증류돼 오크 캐스크에서 40년을 보낸 뒤 던컨 테일러의 레어 올드 라인으로 43.2도에 병입된 전설적인 보틀이다. 향에는 묵은 피트, 트로피컬 과일, 옅은 가죽이 서로 얽혀 떠오르며 1960년대 보모어 특유의 망고와 패션프루트 톤이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입에서는 훈연과 잘 익은 과일이 부드럽게 흐른다. 여운에는 피트와 트로피컬 과일의 잔향이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
this is a sherry version but it’s interesting that we have the same smokiness at first nosing. It’s also very rounded, sweet, creamy, developing on lots of chocolate and praline, chestnut honey, toffee… Great notes of torrefaction (coffee and smoke), mocha, very clean old rancio… The balance is very perfect, the whole being hugely compact. Gets quite minty after a while, with again whiffs of lavender flowers. Goes on with oasted peanuts, hints of church incense and cigar box… Truly flawless – classicism at its best
restaurant Palate
it’s in keeping with the nose although it’s a little more nervous and slightly rougher. Lots of sherry, lots of raisins (sultanas but also Corinth), quite some orange marmalade and, above all, lots of fruitcake. Quite some dried pears and bananas, figs, prunes… Add to that a little old rum and armagnac plus quite some milk chocolate and dashes of black pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon and you get, again, a classic sherried Speysider. The finish is long, creamy, still on dried fruits plus pepper and cloves. Very good, very…err, classic. 89 points as well.
