Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
술을 따르자마자 잔을 흔들면 마데이라 우드가 입힌 진한 골드빛이 얇게 번진다. 코를 가져가면 블루베리 요거트와 잘 익은 딸기가 먼저 인사하고, 곧이어 랍상소총차와 에스프레소를 닮은 젖은 연기가 그 위를 덮는다. 한 모금을 머금으면 55.1도답게 기름진 질감이 혀를 감싸고 라즈베리 잼과 감초 사탕, 오렌지 껍질이 차례로 지나간다. 삼킨 뒤에는 쓴 홍차와 딸기 캔디의 단맛이 얼얼한 열기와 함께 목을 따라 올라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
what strikes me first is the youthfulness here, as it starts all on notes of blueberry yoghurt and fresh ripe strawberries as well as hints of gamay (Beaujolais nouveau) and muesli. It’s a rather big smokiness that enters the dance after that, with whiffs of lapsang souchong tea, espresso coffee and brown coal (stove) as well as a little putty, fresh walnuts, soaked grains and candle wax. The fresh fruits/’wet’ smoke combination works very well in our view. Oh, and Barbour grease… Extremely well composed
restaurant Palate
assertive and a little rougher than on the nose, maybe a tad less ‘forthright’. Rather oily mouth feel. The sherry is a little more obvious too (redcurrants, cassis buds)… Bubblegum, liquorice allsorts, raspberry jam… Also oranges, and once again a rather obvious smokiness. Hints of chilli (spicy pizza sauce). A tad roguish, pleasantly so
timer Finish
long and in the keeping with the palate. Notes of bitter tea but also strawberry sweets and a hotness
