Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
향에서 가장 먼저 전면에 나서는 것은 1982년 증류된 보모어의 잘 익은 열대 과일과 망고, 옅은 이탄 연기다. 올드 빈티지다운 갯내음과 꽃향이 명확하게 드러난다. 입에서는 50.4%에서 진하면서도 26년 숙성이 빚어낸 열대 과실과 훈연, 가벼운 향신료가 단단하다. 아일라 증류소다운 미네랄과 소금기가 골격을 받친다. 여운은 길고 부드러우며 과일 단맛과 재가 천천히 발전한다. 1980년대 보모어의 트로피컬한 구조감이 분명한 한 잔이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
powerful of course but also cleaner, straighter and rather more coherent than the 1991, starting with whiffs of wood smoke and quite some fresh almonds plus a little paraffin, then hints of sherry and Seville oranges. But that’s all I can get at more than 60% abv. So, with water: alas, it got a little dry and rather grassy. Maybe not the best swimmer ever? Hints of old papers and maybe a little ham. Wait, it does take off after a good ten minutes, with more mint and something that smells like… absinth? Also leather and more ham
restaurant Palate
powerful of course, oily, rather rich, half peppery, half vanilled and half sherried ;-). It seems that it’s very good now but let’s not take chances. With water: aaaah, now we’re talking! It’s not that it got very complex but it’s much fuller, creamy, fruity and spicy. Bitter oranges, citrons and pepper, vanilla and rum… a very good combo
timer Finish
long, on the same notes, with maybe a little more ginger in the aftertaste
