Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
연한 황금빛이 잔 안에서 맑게 감돈다. 마데이라 캐스크가 남긴 건포도와 말린 살구, 견과의 향이 벤리악 특유의 보리 단맛과 부드럽게 겹친다. 입에서는 46도의 균형 잡힌 질감 위로 꿀과 마른 과일, 은은한 향신료가 둥글게 흐른다. 아메리칸 버번 배럴의 바닐라가 마데이라의 깊이를 정갈하게 받친다. 여운은 중간 길이로 건과일과 오크, 옅은 스파이스가 스페이사이드 15년 우드 피니시의 우아함으로 마무리된다.
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...
