Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 망고와 패션프루트 같은 열대 과일 향이 가장 먼저 인사한다. 잔을 흔들면 옅은 황금빛이 잔 벽을 타고 천천히 흘러내린다. 한 모금 머금으면 전설적인 옛 보모어 특유의 잘 익은 과일 단맛이 혀 위로 퍼진다. 입에 굴리면 41.2도의 낮은 도수에도 향이 풍성하게 남고 피트는 실처럼 가늘게 깔린다. 1969년 증류라는 시간이 아일라의 거친 연기를 꽃과 과일로 바꿔 놓았다. 삼킨 뒤 은은한 훈연과 과일 향이 목 뒤로 길게 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
well, it is very fruity but delicately so. Not as much of a fruit bomb as the 1966-1968s. Very nice whiffs of orange soup with olive oil and honey, fresh almonds, kippers (already!), then hints of retsina (let’s support Greece!) and other resinous things, fresh putty, anchovy paste, ideas of yellow chartreuse, a little soot, grapefruits… It’s all rather mellow, very complex, elegant and absolutely not wham-bam-check-my-maracuja. You see what I mean
restaurant Palate
as light as a feather at first sips, akin to some complex blend of herbal teas and old wines. Very old dry muscat, maybe even gewürztraminer (once the rosy notes have vanished), then some tobacco, citrons, lemon grass and just the right amounnt of cinnamon and white pepper. Sadly, it becomes slightly drying and tea-ish after that and loses steam
timer Finish
relatively short and a tad cardboardy, although the aftertaste remains clean and half-fruity, half-spicy. Quite salty too
