Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌려 향을 끌어올리면 맑은 금빛이 안에서 가볍게 일렁인다. 코를 가져가면 리필 버번 배럴에서 온 잘 익은 망고와 멜론, 블라드녹다운 풀잎의 싱그러움이 산뜻하게 피어오른다. 잔을 다시 흔들면 파인애플과 옅은 꿀이 더해진다. 한 모금 머금으면 46.4도의 부드러운 도수 속에서 열대 과일과 시트러스, 옅은 꿀이 천천히 번진다. 로랜드의 섬세함이 과일 향을 또렷이 살렸다. 삼킨 뒤에는 망고와 풀향의 산뜻함이 혀끝에 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
aaaaahhhh! There, all these wonderful fruity tones we were expecting have arrived, together with some kind of smoky/sooty notes that go well with them. Also a lot of metal polish, we’re well in the style of many old Dumpies by Cadenhead. Smoked tangerines? Very lovely nose, let’s just hope the palate won’t be too metallic
restaurant Palate
a tad more deconstructed, if I may, with also some unexpected notes of coconut liqueur that give it a mild bourbon profile. It’s not big, and I also find a little too much cardboard and drops of stale tea. Having said that, I enjoy the beeswax and the notes of old marc de Bourgogne, this wild earthiness (humus, another flavour that’s often to be found in old dumpies in my experience) as well as these touches of bitter almonds, marzipan and lemon zests. It’s a complex whisky, it just lacks focus
timer Finish
not too long, rather green, drying, with a lot of green tea and a peppery aftertaste. The good news is that there are also tangerines and grapefruits
