Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 선명하게 빛난다. 첫 향은 시가와 파이프 담배로 가득해 삼나무와 체리 줄기 차, 쓴 오렌지 마멀레이드가 그 뒤를 잇고 구두약과 석탄 연기가 낮게 깔린다. 56.3도의 입은 마멀레이드처럼 진하고 향신료가 날카로우며 슈거파우더의 단맛이 긴장을 유지한다. 셰리 버트에서 열다섯 해를 보낸 이 보틀링은 존재감을 숨길 생각이 없다. 여운은 풀과 후추로 방향을 틀며 옅은 소금기를 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
bright amber
air Nose
big and very cigary at first nosing. Many tobaccos, cigars, pipe tobacco… And cedar wood, a little porridge, cherry stem tea, then a typical earthiness and quite a lot of bitter orange marmalade. And then metal polish, shoe polish, coal smoke and mown lawn. It’s a big nose, with a lot of presence. With water: more leather, seal blubber, liquorice wood, tobacco… I find all this beautiful and appropriately singular
restaurant Palate
very rich, extremely marmalady, spicy, with quite a lot of icing sugar as well, which keeps it kind of nervous. In the background, this earthiness and touches of salt. Really a big boy! With water: touches of thyme, more tobacco, chlorophyll, ultra-dried raisins and even a touch of smoked salmon
timer Finish
long, greener, grassier and more peppery. A drop of brine in the aftertaste and more green tannins
