Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들어 향을 열면 리필 버번 배럴이 조용한 만큼 증류액의 민낯이 그대로 드러난다. 코를 가져가면 기계유 같은 기름 냄새와 셀러리악 즙, 바닷물이 차례로 다가오고 물을 더하면 마지팬과 코코넛이 잠깐 비친다. 한 모금을 머금으면 24년이라는 나이가 무색하게 매우 건조하고 광물성이 앞서며 후추와 소금, 옅은 신맛이 혀를 조인다. 50.8도를 삼키면 오렌지 껍질과 풋고추의 쓴맛이 길게 남아 쉽게 안기지 않는 술임을 알린다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
we’re facing the distillate now, in its unvarnished core. No ooh-ha sherry to hide behind, no unnecessary Madeira or Marsala or whatever, only a full glass of engine oil blended with celeriac juice. Plus a little sea water, that is all. Now the proportions are perfect, that’s the whole trick here. With water: marzipan and a little vanillin and coconut, that’s the cask speaking out. Okay, pass
restaurant Palate
can a whisky be totally austere and yet relatively attractive? Seriously, this is some very dry Springbank, mineral, peppery, salty, and a little sour. There is a fine line between pleasure and pain here, it’s rather philosophical whisky, so no instant crowd-pleaser. With water: plain American oak coming out, no thanks. Drop water
timer Finish
pretty long and rather on orange skins and green pepper. Not sexy
