Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
두어 번 돌린 뒤 코를 대면 재와 석탄, 솔진이 먼저 자리를 잡고 마른 곡물과 감초가 열린다. 계속 맡으면 훈제 햄과 농가 마당, 젖은 신문지가 층층이 쌓여 매끈하지 않은 얼굴을 드러낸다. 한 모금을 머금으면 46도치고 기름지고 두꺼운 질감이 흐르며 후추와 오렌지 껍질, 정향이 이어진다. 삼키고 나면 쌉쌀함이 길게 남고 옅은 단내가 뒤늦게 스친다. 셰리 없이 버번 통만으로 18년을 보낸 선택이 그대로 맛에 새겨져 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
ah. This one is a little less expressive than the 10, I must say, and probably a little less expressive than the first edition of the new 18 as well. Grains and pine resin, ashes, coal, farmyard, ham, liquorice, fresh walnuts, then more herbs, parsley and hints of wet newspaper. I just nosed the 1st edition again, it’s indeed a tad ampler than #2
restaurant Palate
more convincing than on the nose, fat, peppery and orangey, but maybe a tad less ‘clean and straightforward’ than both #1 and the new 10 yet again. More cask influence, more orange notes, orange liqueur, cloves and liquorice
timer Finish
long, maybe a tad bitterer now. Traces of bubblegum, tiny-wee dirtiness that make it actually quite complex
