Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밀짚빛이 잔 속에서 투명하게 흔들린다. 다시 태운 셰리 캐스크를 거쳤지만 색은 옅고 향은 오히려 깨끗하다. 신선한 버터와 들판의 민들레, 밀랍이 먼저 열리고 딸기와 귤의 과실이 옅은 피트 연기와 함께 따라온다. 54.4도의 술은 입에서 코코넛과 딸기 시럽의 단맛으로 번지다가 잘 익은 오렌지와 가죽을 슬쩍 드러낸다. 여운은 중간 길이다. 소금과 올리브유, 오크의 결이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
beautifully clean yet complex at first nosing, extremely pure, with notes of fresh butter, flowers from the fields (our beloved dandelions), beeswax and other waxes (no paraffin that is) and then straighter fruity notes (strawberries and quite some tangerines), with also a little peat smoke. It’s very natural and maybe a tad old-style (make that traditional), which is an asset in our opinion. Absolutely no obvious wood treatment
restaurant Palate
very good ‘nervousness’, sweet, fruity (the notes of coconuts are back!), getting even fruitier over time (strawberry syrup, marshmallows). Also these very peculiar notes of overripe oranges and leather that are only to be found in Springbank or Longrow, rather discrete here. Good whisky
timer Finish
medium long, with a little salt and hints of olive oil that add to its complexity. Oak, Turkish delights and oranges
