Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 금빛이 잔에 맑게 잠긴다. 1992년에 증류해 호그스헤드에서 26년을 보낸 이 아쿠아 비테 보틀은 순무와 굴, 조린 루바브 같은 낯선 향으로 시작해 시간이 지나면 장미 꽃잎과 리치의 단내가 뒤따른다. 51도의 입안은 백묵을 씹은 듯 건조한 레몬과 시트론 리큐어, 해초의 짠맛이 얽히고 타임과 로즈메리의 결이 그 사이를 가른다. 여운은 중간 길이로 파라핀과 아몬드의 고소함이 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
indeed, it’s one of the ‘funnier’ one, with notes of turnips, hand cream, oysters, stewed rhubarb, guava juice, Weissbier, rose petals, even litchis… We’re far from the sooty and mineral ones that they started to distil a few years later, even if it’s easily noticeable that it tends to get better focussed after a few minutes. This baby needs air. With water: brilliant, all it needed was time and a little water. Crushed chalk in seawater and lemon juice
restaurant Palate
ah wait wait wait, this is different indeed. Chalky lemons, citron liqueur blended with seaweed juice, thyme and rosemary, these wee ‘plasticky’ notes that weren’t uncommon in Springbank back then, graphite oil… With water: we got it! Chalky textile and lemony brine, tinned sardines…
timer Finish
medium, and rather beautifully paraffiny and almondy
