Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 들어 한 바퀴 돌리면 맑은 황금빛 술이 잔 안에서 천천히 회전한다. 코끝으로 가져가면 스트라스아일라다운 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 마른 보리 향이 단정하게 피어난다. 한 모금 머금으면 52.4도의 단단한 알코올 위로 시트러스와 바닐라, 가벼운 오크 향신료가 흐른다. 증류소가 병입한 이 17년 위스키는 스페이사이드 특유의 정갈하고 균형 잡힌 풍미를 보여준다. 삼키고 나면 꿀과 과일의 단맛이 입안에 잔잔히 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
rather big menthol, tealeaves, banana skins, then putty and lanoline. It then becomes fruitier and more approachable, with apricots and melons, and a profile that somewhat reminds me of Aberlour ex-bourbon. Candy apples, pollen, ripe apples... With water: there it is, we've broken it (I mean that in a good way) with even more fruits coming through. A fresh fruit salad, sweet honey, a bit of fresh mint – what a nice combination
restaurant Palate
really tight, with fresh fruits but also apple skins, bunches of grapes, green tea, gooseberries and rhubarb, then green pepper and a growing bitterness. With water: once again, there it is, the fruitiness takes the lead, with a bit of hops and white peaches. Only a few stems and leaves remain, like tea for example
timer Finish
medium length, quite balanced between herbs, leaves and orchard fruits. We're not exactly on mango or lychees. The aftertaste is more bitter
