Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
화이트 와인에 가까운 옅은 빛이 잔 속에 맑게 놓인다. 헤이즐그로브라는 이름을 달았지만 그 안에는 캠벨타운의 골격이 그대로 있다. 페드로 히메네스 셰리 피니시를 거쳤음에도 단맛보다는 돌과 마른 풀의 서늘함이 앞서고 젖은 양모와 뮤즐리, 옅은 석탄 연기가 뒤를 받친다. 48.9도의 입안은 날카롭고 각져 있으며 그을음과 풋사과의 신맛이 타협 없이 밀고 들어온다. 여운 끝에 아주 작은 사탕수수의 단맛과 자몽이 스친다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
oh yeah, there, some very obvious Kiwi notes, and this thing that really reminds us of the southern hemisphere… I’m joking! It’s some pure, rather more austere than others, stony and grassy Springbank. There’s a little more porridge (NZ porridge?) and whiffs of damp raw wool, then muesli and lemon squash, with a wee smokiness. Rather coal smoke. And perhaps turnips? Celeriac? Uncooked, no need to say. Definitely one from the countryside
restaurant Palate
indeed, it’s very austere, sharp, tense, angular, and sooty. And smoky (rather wood smoke this time). Grasses, bitters, stones aplenty, with sour apples as well (which we like)… It’s the austere sharpness that works here, this is some uncompromising whisky. Perhaps not one for the mother-in-law, unless you ant to get rid of her
timer Finish
quite long, with a smidgen of sweetness. Candy sugar, perhaps? But really smidgens, it remains austere. Nice bready aftertaste. And some grapefruits too!
