Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들자마자 코를 대면 시큼한 초산 냄새와 눅눅한 기운이 먼저 튀어나온다. 잠시 두면 그 기세가 가라앉고 그을린 자몽과 고사리, 들풀 냄새가 자리를 대신한다. 59.1도의 한 모금은 매우 건조하게 들어와 쓴 오렌지와 라임, 레몬그라스로 혀를 조인다. 물을 한 방울 더하면 진저브레드와 훈연된 마멀레이드가 올라오고, 삼킨 뒤에는 오크 향신료가 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
same feeling as with the Lombard, this one starts hugely acetic, with even notes of gym socks and various cheese, but this time all that just vanishes in the air, leaving room for some ultra-chiselled notes of sooty grapefruits and a lot of fern and wild grass, even a little bison grass vodka or something like that. With water: water definitely killed any remaining acetic notes and brought out more smoky porridge and some baker’s yeast
restaurant Palate
very dry, with high impact bitter oranges, lemon grass, limes and, well, sooty things. Very excellent this time, no vinegar at all. With water: it got rounder, with a little more newish oak (gingerbread, pickled ginger, nutmeg) and a lot of smoky/ashy marmalade
timer Finish
long, with more oak spices
