Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
거의 한 세기 전의 시간이 응축된 짙은 마호가니가 잔에 깊이 잠긴다. 1936년 모틀라크가 35년 숙성으로 고든앤맥페일의 코노쇠르 초이스를 통해 풀려난 이 보틀링은 농밀한 건자두와 무화과, 오래된 가죽 안장과 묵은 담뱃잎의 향이 한꺼번에 피어오른다. 한 모금에 43도의 둥근 알코올이 흑설탕과 발사믹, 캐러멜라이즈된 호두의 깊은 단맛을 끌어온다. 모틀라크의 두툼한 미트 노트가 마지막까지 무겁게 식어간다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
it seems that this one is very well alive after all these years! Of course it’s not a restless youngster anymore but it displays most of the very subtle aromas that one would expect from such an oldie, starting with milk chocolate and balsamic vinegar, beeswax, old wooden furniture, leather, roasted nuts and ‘old liqueurs’ and ending up with verbena, old tea, dried mint, various other herbs and old Burgundy wine (game). Much more coffee after ten minutes – actually, it does smell like plain coffee!
restaurant Palate
hey-hey, it’s almost restless! Very concentrated, creamy, sweet and fruity (bananas flambéed), with notes of old Cognac (these spirits do start to taste almost the same when they are very old) and old rum (ditto). It’s also a little almondy, getting finally more and more resinous and herbal (tannins). Notes of old sherry too
timer Finish
long, more on ‘old’ jams. Fig jam?
