Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
기가 섬에 헌정한 스피릿 오브 기가 병입으로, 2002년 46도 사양의 10년 숙성 제품이다. 노즈는 그을음과 현무암, 굴 껍데기 같은 흙내 쪽으로 명확하게 기울고 겨자와 효모의 거친 결이 뒤섞인다. 팰럿은 금욕적이라 할 만큼 건조하고 짠맛이 강하며, 구운 가지와 레몬 껍질, 피노 셰리의 쌉쌀함이 발전한다. 기름진 질감과 날카로운 산미가 함께 존재하는 점이 구조감을 규정한다. 여운은 길고 후추와 메스칼을 닮은 짠맛이 남는다.

Colour
white wine
air Nose
I get the impression that SB 10 is becoming increasingly earthy, dirty, laden with soot, basalt, oyster shells, slightly rancid olive oil, mustard, slags, and various yeasts—everything we love, though it’s perhaps not quite to your new neighbour’s taste, just to be clear. SB 10 will never replace a good, easy Champagne blanc de blancs (not entirely sure about that last remark, S.)
restaurant Palate
austere, intensely saline, peppery, even dirtier on the palate, with striking bitterness and that unmistakable oily texture. Grilled aubergines come close, before lemon peel and a generous glass of fino sherry ride to the rescue. And it’s not the first time one gets the impression they’ve poured a bit of Longrow into the vatting tank
timer Finish
long, with that wonderfully discordant sensation of an oily yet razor-sharp malt. The aftertaste is saline, peppery, mezcal-like, and lemony
