Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 금빛이 잔 속에 깊게 어린다. 아드벡이 중심을 이룬 이 블렌디드 몰트는 처음엔 퍼티와 마지팬으로 부드럽게 열리다가, 시간이 지나며 오래된 시가 상자와 허브 리큐어, 모터 오일, 금귤, 소나무 수지의 향을 겹겹이 드러낸다. 40도의 입안에서는 의외로 힘차게 피트 연기와 타르, 감초, 재의 짭짤함이 번지며 캐러웨이와 자두, 씁쓸한 오렌지가 뒤따른다. 여운은 끝없이 이어지며 타르와 재의 잔향을 오래 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
it’s rather mellow, starting mainly on some putty and marzipan, with only the remotest whiffs of smoke and old cigar humidor. It’s only after two or three minutes that touches of old herbs liqueurs and motor oil come through. Old car engine, rubber bands, car polish, then more kumquats, pine resin… It’s growing bigger over time but the smoke remains relatively subdued. Unexpected whiffs of old roses after a few minutes, walnuts, morels… Old gewürztraminer? Very complex…
restaurant Palate
really punchy, without any tiredness or dryness from all this time in glass. Picks up where it stopped on the nose, with again touches of roses (Turkish delights) and kumquats, then more straight peat smoke, tar, liquorice and soot/ashes. Quite some salt as well, caraway seeds, prunes, black raisins (sherry wood, probably!) and bitter oranges, with a saltiness that never stops growing bigger. Touches of strong herbal digestif ala Underberg together with more and more salmiak. Amazingly big after all these years
timer Finish
endless, tarry and ashy, maybe a tad drying but it would be a very stupid thing to complain
