Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
캠벨타운의 아드시엘 호텔을 위해 2010년에 병입된 46도 15년이다. 노즈는 화려함과 거리가 멀어 부싯돌과 흙, 풀, 소독약 같은 약재 향이 앞에 서고 분필의 건조함이 확실히 두드러진다. 팰럿은 호두 껍질과 사과 껍질의 떫음에 오렌지 스쿼시 같은 단맛이 잠시 겹치다 쓴맛으로 기운다. 피니시는 길고 건조하며 허브의 쌉쌀함 끝에 자몽의 산이 살아난다. 취향은 갈리지만 구조감은 분명하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it’s really austere, flinty, earthy and grassy, with a medicinal touch (antiseptic) and wee touches of rubber (a box of bands). I also find a little baker’s yeast and, above all, plenty of chalk. Reminds me of my schooldays. And perhaps a little thyme and parsley. Intriguing, as they say
restaurant Palate
yes, it’s a strange one indeed, and it does remind me of the older 15 from a years back. Very chalky again, kind of fizzy, with plenty of walnut skin, apple peelings, and then orange squash. Something Fanta-ish, I’d say. Tends to become bitter. Fernet Branca at cask strength
timer Finish
long, dry, still very chalky, and bitterly herbal. The good news is that a little grapefruit’s coming to the rescue in the aftertaste, lifting it a bit
