Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌리고 잠시 기다렸다 코를 가져가면 연기와 재, 자몽 껍질이 한꺼번에 밀려온다. 버번 캐스크에서 15년을 보낸 술치고 피트가 뚜렷해 롱로우를 마주한 듯한 착각을 준다. 한 모금을 머금으면 53.8도의 술이 극단적으로 레몬 쪽으로 달려가며 짠맛과 날카로운 자극을 함께 던진다. 물을 더해 다시 삼키면 쓴 오렌지가 열리고, 삼킨 자리에는 그을음과 마른 재의 기운이 오래 걸려 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
aaah, this is much greater. Cleaner for sure – that wasn’t difficult to achieve – and unexpectedly peaty, almost as peaty as Longrow. Or is it Longrow in disguise? So smoke, ashes, grapefruits, engine oil, freshly ground pepper… and all that. With water: some smoked floor-cloth – and I like that ;-)
restaurant Palate
a perfect ultra-lemony and very acrid/pungent palate that probably a little ‘love-it-or-hate-it’, especially since there’s also more and more salt. But it’s my thing ;-). With water: more of all that, plus bitter oranges
timer Finish
long, acrid, lemony, smoky, sooty, ashy, ultra-dry
