Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에는 오랜 세월이 응축된 깊은 호박빛이 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 아일라 바우모어에서 1968년에 증류해 37년을 오크 캐스크에서 보내고 던컨 테일러가 2006년에 병입한 레어 올드 시리즈다. 향에는 열대 과일, 망고, 잘 익은 파파야와 옅은 피트 연기가 깊게 머문다. 40.5도의 도수가 입안에서 꿀과 마른 살구, 부드러운 훈연으로 섬세하게 흐른다. 여운은 옅은 잿내와 미네랄로 오래 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
very similar ‘of course’, a tad more on vanilla and caramel and maybe a little less fresh… Less lemony and more on gooseberries and strawberries, and also spicier and woodier (quite some pepper and ginger). Hints of lavender and violets, as well as heather again. Maybe a little less ‘easy’
restaurant Palate
more nervous than the ‘NC’, and also sharper now. I liked its sibling’s nose a little better but this is much, much better on the palate. Lots of vivacity, on starting on lemon and grapefruit juice, fructose, fruit Jell-o, bubblegum… Notes of nougat and praline, candied angelica, Sevilla oranges… Good, very good if not too complex. A little liquorice as well, orange marmalade… And the finish is rather long this time, compact, on pineapple, grapefruit and candy sugar as well as a little salt. Good-good! 86 points . June 6, 2006 CONCERT REVIEW by Nick Morgan RODDY FRAME Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London, June 2nd, 2006 It’s a warm Friday night in London, and the Bush is strangely only half full. The restive audience chat their way through support Martha Tilston’s set, and become even noisier during the interval. With a single microphone stand up front and in the middle it looks like a big old stage, and I’m beginning to wonder how anyone can really fill it just by themselves, let alone command the attention of this increasingly boisterous bunch. I shouldn’t have worried. From the moment Roddy Frame walks on stage he has the audience in the palm of his hand – at times the quiet is astonishing (during a very hushed lull between songs a fan shouts out, earning the rebuke “Look man, can’t you just enjoy the silence, it’s beautiful man”). Frame calms down a fight at the front of the crowd, takes a love poem from an outstretched hand, begins to read it, begins to critique it (“one blue would have been enough man”) and then refuses to finish it – “just buy her something expensive man”. He tells a wonderful joke about nut roasts, and a familiar apocryphal Glaswegian story about knife wounds. Altogether he’s engaged and engaging, and when, right at the end of the show he says “I’ve had a lovely time playing for you” you know it’s true. You almost felt you could have been sitting at home with Roddy on the sofa playing and chatting while his pal the wonderful Edwyn Collins (who was
