Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 시간이 빚어낸 짙은 황금빛이 잔에 깊게 머문다. 1966년 빈티지 보모어가 40년의 숙성을 거쳐 던컨 테일러의 레어 올드로 봉인되었고, 43.2%의 절제된 도수는 트로피컬 망고와 패션후르츠, 잘 무르익은 복숭아의 향을 부드럽게 풀어낸다. 입에서는 살구 시럽과 꿀, 잔잔한 바다 소금의 미네랄리티가 흐르고 보모어 특유의 황금기 캐릭터가 또렷이 드러난다. 여운은 길고 우아하게 풀린다.
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.
