Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 들어 보면 21년을 보냈다기엔 색이 옅고 화이트 와인에 가깝다. 코를 넣으면 점토와 기름, 양털의 라놀린 냄새가 먼저 다가오고 이어 붕대와 백묵 같은 약재 향이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 한 모금을 머금으면 44.5도라는 도수가 무색하게 캠퍼와 타르, 요오드, 부순 조개껍데기가 한꺼번에 밀려온다. 물을 더하면 바닷물과 연고의 결이 더 선명해진다. 삼킨 자리는 바싹 마르고 오래 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine
air Nose
really another era of whisky production. This rather fat and greasy nose that feels almost viscerally textural. Clay, petrol, oily sheep wool, lanolin and some pure, brutal and pretty chalky medical aromas. Develops the most astoundingly pure medical aroma with the leanest of peat profiles. Cereals, chimney soot, kiln air and the rather fermentary note of distillery wash and carbolic acidity. It’s also rather tangy with things like horseradish, mustard powder and various shades of ground pepper. Humbling and pretty astonishing whisky. With water: the very definition of purity in malt whisky. Putty, clay, ointments, embrocations, raw seawater, petrol, mineral salts and bandages
restaurant Palate
immense arrival. Camphor, metal polish, soot, waxes, tar, iodine, peat, crushed seashells and the most brutal, raw and powerful medical embrocations imaginable. Utterly uncompromising, direct and powerful whisky. Unlike anything else. Cereals, chalk, acidity, flint smoke, ink, fabrics and paraffin. Another whisky that you could just go on with forever. With water: astonishing. Extraordinary. A Venn diagram of medicine, salinity and waxiness with a clarity of personality and a level purity, precision and power that is heart-stopping
timer Finish
long, bone-dry, austere but also charismatic in the extreme and still touching on these core aspects of purity, medicine and raw, controlled power
