Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 동부에서 자란 벤리악을 페드로 히메네스 셰리 벗으로 마무리한 우드 피니시다. 버번 배럴의 뼈대 위에 PX가 덧입혀져 색은 짙은 황금빛을 띠고, 향은 건포도와 대추야자, 무화과 시럽의 검은 단맛이 부드럽게 감돈다. 46도의 입안은 매끄럽게 흘러 흑설탕과 말린 자두, 옅은 향신료가 겹겹이 쌓이며 몰트의 곡물감이 그 아래를 받친다. 여운은 당밀과 볶은 견과, 은근한 초콜릿을 남기며 달큰하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
unmistakenly 1968 Bowmore. That means an extreme fruitiness, truckloads of passion fruit, mangos and tangerines plus a very subtle ‘coastality’ (sea breeze). These whiskies aren’t extraordinarily complex I think but they are so perfect in their own genre that we do not need complexity here. A true fruitbomb
restaurant Palate
the attack is quite soft, almost a little weak but then the tangerines, lemons, passion fruits and mangos do arrive, together with salty touches and a very pleasant spiciness brought by the wood (cloves, soft curry, hints of pepper). Hints of violet sweets, then it’s almost like pure lemon drops
timer Finish
longer and bolder when compared with the attack, very citrusy and slightly peppery/salty, with also these notes of icing sugar that we already had in the new 25. How could any whiskyfreak dislike this? 91 points . PETE McPEAT AND JACK WASHBACK MUSIC – Recommended listening: let's have something bouncy and seriously 70's today with Dexter Wansel playing Latin Love .mp3 . Soul jazz at its best, I'd say...
