Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 세게 흔들면 처음에는 시큼한 식초 같은 기운과 눅눅한 냄새가 훅 올라오지만 잠깐 두면 그것이 공기 중으로 사라진다. 그 자리에 그을린 자몽과 고사리, 들풀 향이 또렷이 들어선다. 한 모금을 머금으면 58.9도답게 매우 건조하고 쌉쌀한 오렌지와 라임, 레몬그라스가 날을 세운다. 물을 더해 삼키면 생강빵과 육두구가 올라오고 재를 뿌린 마멀레이드가 혀에 남는다. 여운은 길고 오크 향신료가 마지막을 잡는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
same feeling as with the Lombard, this one starts hugely acetic, with even notes of gym socks and various cheese, but this time all that just vanishes in the air, leaving room for some ultra-chiselled notes of sooty grapefruits and a lot of fern and wild grass, even a little bison grass vodka or something like that. With water: water definitely killed any remaining acetic notes and brought out more smoky porridge and some baker’s yeast
restaurant Palate
very dry, with high impact bitter oranges, lemon grass, limes and, well, sooty things. Very excellent this time, no vinegar at all. With water: it got rounder, with a little more newish oak (gingerbread, pickled ginger, nutmeg) and a lot of smoky/ashy marmalade
timer Finish
long, with more oak spices
