Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 구식 셰리의 영역으로 곧장 들어간다. 사냥 고기 소스와 초콜릿이 앞서고 타르와 재, 시멘트 같은 증류액의 뼈대가 그 아래에서 낮게 울린다. 이어 블랙베리 젤리와 말린 육포가 겹치고 민트를 머금은 감초가 전체를 묶는다. 56.1도의 팰럿은 훈제 후추와 쓴 초콜릿, 블러드 오렌지와 정향이 쏟아지며 주도권은 초콜릿이 쥔다. 리필 올로로소 23년에 PX 3년을 더한 26년 숙성으로 피니시가 길고 기름지다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
very dark amber
air Nose
here we are, plunged into the old-school, with game sauces (grand veneur) and chocolates, plus that tarry, ashy, and cement-like backbone of the distillate humming in the background. Then comes blackberry jelly draped over dried meats, followed by a stunning mint-infused liquorice. A rather sporty old Armagnac-like vibe ties it all together. A superb nose. With water: a hint of well-kept stable, old tobacco pouch, coffee, hoisin sauce, before it fractures into layers—leather at the helm (saddle, that is)
restaurant Palate
oh blimey! A landslide of smoked pepper, bitter chocolate, grey tobacco, then blood orange and clove. The boss here? Definitely the chocolate. With water: chocolate, pepper, salt, and marmalade, all atop plasticine, which, to us, is very Springbank
timer Finish
long, oily, thick, glorious, and triumphant (or so we say!)
