Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 캐스크에서 17년을 보낸 시간이 Dailuaine 매니저스 드램의 묵직한 본바디를 깊게 빚어낸다. 셰리의 영향이 깊게 스며들어 말린 자두, 호두, 흑설탕의 향이 먼저 코에 닿고, 입에는 다크초콜릿과 구운 무화과, 가죽의 풍미가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 59.5도의 강도가 17년 숙성의 단단한 본바디를 또렷한 구조감으로 받친다. Dailuaine 특유의 묵직한 캐릭터가 또렷이 깃든다. 짙은 마호가니빛이 잔에 잠기고 여운은 셰리와 가죽이 입천장에 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
much, much more austere than the MC at first nosing, probably from some less active casks. It’s only after a while that the fragrant notes of tangerines and blood oranges do emerge, as well as a bigger grassiness than in the MC. Other than the different cask influences, the general profiles are actually very similar. With water: closed! Interesting that water made this one almost mute. Only some distant whiffs of oranges do remain as well as a little hay, even after twenty minutes of breathing
restaurant Palate
same scenario as on the nose, a citrusy profile but with less vanilla. With water: very much alive this time, less sweet and less vanilled than the MC and maybe a tad more complex. Various herbs, teas and spices. Thyme infusion and honey, a little pine resin (sweets), touches of bergamots, drops of orange liqueur (triple-sec or else)…
timer Finish
long, firm, with more spices now. Quite some nutmeg and ginger in the aftertaste
