Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔에 또렷이 비친다. 아일라 아드벡이 1979년에 채운 버번 배럴에서 40년의 시간을 견딘 뒤 시그너토리 빈티지의 레어 리저브로 56.8도에 병입된 보틀링이다. 향에는 잘 익은 망고와 파인애플, 부드러운 피트 연기와 코코넛이 깊게 머문다. 입에서는 열대 과실의 농축된 시럽과 옅은 그을린 오크, 미세한 바닷내음이 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 여운에는 피트와 트로피컬 과실의 잔향이 길게 이어진다.

let's be clear, this is not 'too old', 'too oaky', 'too tired' or anything like that. That's sorted, let's move on… Some fat Chablis at first (like say Grenouilles in a hot vintage), then really embrocations and ointments of all kinds. That's the main trait. Also mangos and maracuja, oysters, clams, kelp… And that famous, very emblematic 'old fisherman's boat' that, I'm sure, no one's ever seen in real life. It's probably just a descriptor. With water: oh! Drinking old chartreuse on a northern beach
restaurant Palate
no! I mean, yes! Extremely cutting, sharp, blade-y, tell me about a lazy old malt. Thousands of green lemons, lemongrass, chocolate mint (leaves), then a feeling of salted smoked artichokes. And always this emblematic tar. With water: excellentissimal. Sour grapefruits, iodine, camphor, tar, oil and paraffin, heavy salted liquorice, tar… Have I mentioned tar before? Because this is very tarry. You may start to look for the Anti-Maltoporn Brigade's number, thank you
timer Finish
hate it that it would finish, but love this salty, smoky, tarry lemon juice. Medicinal aftertaste
