Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 금빛이 잔 안쪽을 얇게 두른다. 첫 향은 식초처럼 날카롭고 짠 치즈 같은 기운마저 스치지만 그 거친 층은 이내 공기 속으로 흩어진다. 남는 것은 그을린 자몽과 고사리, 들풀의 서늘한 향이다. 59.1도의 술은 입에서 쓴 오렌지와 레몬그라스, 라임의 신맛을 아주 건조하게 밀어붙인다. 물을 더하면 진저브레드와 육두구가 열린다. 여운은 길고 오크의 향신료가 끝까지 이어진다.
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
