Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 맑은 황금빛이 잔 벽을 따라 가볍게 미끄러진다. 코끝으로 가져가면 일본 치치부다운 정교한 과일 향과 꿀, 옅은 향신료가 단정하게 올라온다. 한 모금을 머금으면 2010년 빈티지 12년의 풍미가 리필 호그스헤드의 익은 배와 바닐라로 혀에 퍼지고, 62도의 높은 도수가 뜨겁게 번진다. 목을 넘기면 깔끔한 과일 단맛과 오크 향이 또렷하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
incredibly approachable at such a high strength, and even if the new oak feels a bit (vanilla and fresh sawdust), these whiffs of freshly squeezed oranges are just lovely and bring much freshness. I also find some lemongrass and very clear notes of lime-blossom. With water: pure, unadulterated acacia honey!
restaurant Palate
fierce and young, but great, or rather great, but young. Pear drops, tinned pineapple, loads of sweet creamy vanilla, acacia honey, then more lemongrass and coconut. This could make for a great sauce to pour onto grilled chicken, Thai style. With water: an Irishness comes out, quite bizarrely, as well as notes of IPA beer, hops, chlorophyll… The oak has been very active, in a good way
timer Finish
long, grassier, with some fresh oak
