Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스트필 셰리 호그스헤드가 13년에 걸쳐 스트라스아일라에 짙은 단맛과 향신료를 새겨 넣었다. 향은 졸인 자두와 흑설탕, 정향이 진하게 솟아오른다. 57.9도의 입은 풀바디로 혀를 빽빽하게 감싸며 다크초콜릿과 건포도, 구운 오크의 쌉쌀함을 차례로 펼친다. 퍼스트필 셰리가 남긴 짙은 구릿빛 아래 여운에는 향신료와 카카오가 길고 따뜻하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
old barrique, rubber, coconut, walnut wine, balsamico, vanilla… It's still a little rough when unreduced, but let's see… With water: a little ginger and leather at first, then more cakes, honeys, raisins, some meatiness, dried beef, jerky, a good few drops of old wine vinegar from Jerez…
restaurant Palate
much better on the palate when unreduced, here on roasted nuts of all kinds, plus toffee and what we call 'Carambar'. Roasted pecans, peanuts, demerara sugar, raisins, Mars bars and Twixes… Rather creamy and syrupy mouth feel, almost like honey. By the way, there are also notes of chestnut honey. With water: sweet beers, meads, caramel…
timer Finish
long and pretty spicy. These first fill hogsheads are very 'first fill' indeed, they would have harboured seasoning sherry for only one or two years before they're filled with whisky. Ginger, chocolate and pumpernickel in the aftertaste
