Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
깊은 금빛이 잔 속에 고르게 퍼져 있다. 셰리가 대부분을 차지한 이 18년 리미티드 에디션은 코에서 마른 코코아와 야생 버섯, 간장을 닮은 감칠맛을 먼저 내민다. 입에서는 훈연을 머금은 짠 초콜릿과 세비야 오렌지의 쓴 껍질이 맞물리고, 검은 올리브의 소금기가 그 사이를 파고든다. 여운은 중간 길이로 육수 같은 감칠맛과 소금에 절인 오렌지의 인상을 남기며 천천히 물러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s not got the sublime brightness of the 10, neither has it got its immediate minerality, and just between us, I believe the sherry’s to blame. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong (well done, S.) but while the 10 is so wonderfully streamlined, this one’s got too many side notes in my opinion. Like some gas/eggs/truffles, for example, or some kind of cardboardy ultra-dry cocoa. On the other hand, I do enjoy these wild mushrooms and the notes of soy sauce and lovage (Maggi). It’s just that the 10 was so perfectly sleek…
restaurant Palate
ah, this is not as unsound as I had thought. Good smoky and salty chocolate, some umami, parsley, Seville oranges, salty black olives (always a hit at WF Towers) melissa water, kippers, brine… And some drying cardboard too
timer Finish
medium, and rather ‘bouillony’. Now this feeling of salted oranges is not uncommon in some Springbanks
