Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 버트에서 12년을 보낸 이 우드 익스프레션은 셰리를 단맛이 아니라 금속과 야성으로 번역한다. 노즈에서는 총열의 쇠 냄새와 부싯돌, 수렵육과 짐승 털이 먼저 드러나고 당밀과 천연 타르, 훈제 파프리카가 뒤따른다. 팰럿은 구운 견과와 밀크 초콜릿, 고추기름과 석탄 가루가 순서대로 올라오며 옅은 붕대 뉘앙스가 스친다. 물을 더하면 숙성된 피노 누아로 발전한다. 피니시는 흑맥주와 호밀빵의 감칠맛이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
a rather 'Springbank' style of sherry, with all this gun metal, flints, game meats, animal furs and hints of treacle, natural tar and wood embers. There's also a touch of herbal cough mix and smoked paprika. I'm quite a fan, thus far. With water: salted liquorice, fennel seed, cough medicines and wormwood. A nice herbal / medical profile emerging
restaurant Palate
all on roasted mixed nuts, milk chocolate, paprika, chilli oil, coal dust and bandages. A definite 'mid era' profile of Springbank, but it kind of works with this rather gamey sherry style - it's certainly charismatic. With water: goes more towards the earthier aspects. Things like aged pinot noir, BBQ sauce, dry roast peanuts and aged orange peels
timer Finish
good length and pretty earthy, but also quite a few dark ales, rye bread and umami vibes such as miso and marmite
