Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 다소 건조하고 잎사귀 같은 향이 두드러져 오크 대팻밥과 톱밥이 먼저 드러나고 젤리와 마시멜로, 루이보스차가 뒤따르며 옅은 금속성 뉘앙스가 비친다. 팰럿은 처음에 잎사귀처럼 마르다가 사과와 껍질, 올스파이스, 생강, 강황으로 발전한다. 로우랜드 특유의 삼중 증류다운 가벼운 증류액이 또렷하다. 피니시는 짧으나 오렌지의 과일 향이 살아난다. 오큰토션 18년의 드라이하고 우드 중심적인 구조가 명확하게 드러나는 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it's pretty dry and leafy, not that easy, with first some oak shavings and sawdust, and only then gummy bears and marshmallows, rooibos tea… But it remains drier than before and even a notch metallic (old tin box)
restaurant Palate
again, a little leafy and drying at first, then on cider apples, peel, allspice, ginger, turmeric… The distillate doesn't seem to have much to say, we're pretty far from the distillery's older expression, not to mention the fantastic sherried ones that they used to have… like twenty-five years ago. Remember those very singular diamond-shaped labels that used to set them apart?
timer Finish
a little short, but better, fruitier, with some oranges. But the aftertaste remained rather leafy and tea-ish, a little bitter
