Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 블레어 아톨다운 다소 닫힌 인상으로 시작해 초록 허브와 옅은 그을음, 미네랄 오일이 명확하게 드러난다. 물을 더하면 백묵과 흰 꽃, 해바라기씨의 결이 열린다. 팰럿은 풀과 올리브유, 쐐기풀 같은 초록의 개성이 앞서고 시리얼과 레몬 껍질, 점토의 뉘앙스가 발전한다. 라이 배럴 피니시가 더한 향신료가 다소 금욕적인 성격을 조인다. 피니시는 중간 길이로 건조하며 시리얼과 장뇌, 점토의 끝맛이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
a little tight at first, but I do get some impressions of salinity oddly enough. Also green herbs and wee touches of soot and mineral oil. Still feels 'highland' in style but it's a bit closed. With water: chalky, white flowers, pebbles, sunflower seeds. Light, taut cereal structure and more of these gentle mineral oil notes
restaurant Palate
still rather shy and light with lots of greenery such as grass, olive oil and crushed nettles. Cereals, lemon peel and various notes of clay and ointment. Feels almost austere in some respects. I'm not sure I detect any Mezcal, but it is more tight and medicinal for sure. With water: soda bread, canvass, sack cloth, lamp oil, white miso and even something like tofu. Funny stuff!
timer Finish
medium, drying, more cereals, faint medicinal notes, clay, plasticine, camphor and crushed aspirin
