Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
올로로소 호그스헤드에서 14년을 보낸 시간이 페터케언 특유의 견과 풍미에 셰리의 단맛을 깊게 입혔다. 코에는 볶은 아몬드와 건포도, 흑설탕 향이 따뜻하고 둥글게 솟아오른다. 58.1도의 원액은 입에서 토피와 졸인 자두, 오크 스파이스가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 가벼운 가죽 향을 남긴다. 2008년 빈티지의 단단한 구조가 짙은 호박빛 잔 안에서 볶은 견과와 건과일의 묵직하고 긴 여운으로 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine
air Nose
hot, on kirsch, cider apples, scoria, parsnips and beets (again), raw grass, roots, barks, soot… Well this isn’t easy, but I’m sure water will pacify this Scottish brute. With water: going towards barley, fresh pears, and quite bizarrely, Glenfiddich. Some paraffin
restaurant Palate
ultra-grassy, hyper-peppery, and seemingly lethal. Extremely hot and raw – but maybe for the hipflask if you like to go fishing at 6am… With water: gets a little bitter, very sooty, with rather a lot of rubber if not soap. Having said, that, we know that’s part of this distillate’s inherent style, so it is not ‘a flaw’. It’s just a very unusual malt whisky
timer Finish
long, waxy and earthy. The aftertaste is a tad rubbery again
