Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 1938년 빈티지가 빚어낸 짙은 황금빛이 잔 벽을 따라 천천히 미끄러진다. 코끝에 가져가면 49년의 시간이 빚어낸 마른 과일과 옅은 가죽, 헤더 꿀의 향이 차례로 다가온다. 한 모금을 머금으면 40도의 섬세한 풍미가 입천장을 가볍게 적시며 사과 콤포트와 시나몬, 옅은 백단을 풀어놓는다. 삼키면 반세기 보틀링의 정적이 잔향으로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
pre-war whisky’s always different. In this case, it’s much oilier, and I even find olive oil. Now the whole’s a tad shy, whispering, very delicate, and perhaps a little fragile. Mind you, 42 years in wood plus 37 years in a decanter! Hints of thyme and rosemary, chocolate, very old armagnac, cured ham, old cigars that dried out, old wardrobe, fresh mushrooms, a little plasticine… Indeed it’s a little fragile
restaurant Palate
well, not exactly fragile, this baby still roars and kicks you slowly, it just got a little disjointed, just a little. Cocoa powder and black tea from teabags, coffee, sour fruits (sour apples), and orange wine
timer Finish
almost short, rather on sour oranges, black tea, and cocoa
