Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가는 순간 다른 차원으로 옮겨진 듯한 열대 과일이 층층이 밀려온다. 헤더 꿀과 부드러운 약재, 오래된 허브 리큐어와 전나무 수지가 그 사이를 채운다. 한 모금 머금으면 50.1도가 후추 같은 매운 기운으로 시작해 구아바와 망고, 루바브의 즙으로 이어진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 짠맛과 꿀, 약초의 향이 나무 냄새 없이 길게 남는다. 1973년 롱로우를 셰리 캐스크에서 30년 재운 개인 보틀링이 보여주는 경지다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
you are immediately transported to another dimension, all these layers and layers of ripe green and exotic fruits interlaced with heather and flower honeys, soft medicines, aged herbal liqueurs and resinous fir woods. Simple in some ways, but stunning fresh, vibrant and gloriously vivid. With water: probably scratch what I said about simplicity. Becomes more and more complex now with water, taking on mineral and salty qualities with impressions of beach pebbles, vapour rubs, crystallised fruits and aged mead
restaurant Palate
superb attack, peppery and medicinal but then lots of fruit salad juices and fruit syrups. Guava, mango, rhubarb and custard boiled sweeties, star fruit and grapefruit. Still a lot of honey too. With water: outstanding now! Combines medicines, honeys and gorgeously fresh fruits with a perfect saltines, mineral salts and some superbly sharp herbal notes
timer Finish
long, salty, honeyed, exotically fruity and still full of medicinal herbs and resinous wood extracts without ever really being 'woody'
