Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
30년을 채운 1994년 원액이지만 향은 오크보다 뿌리채소 쪽으로 먼저 기운다. 당근과 겐티아나, 파스닙의 흙내가 또렷하고 구두약과 만다린, 젖은 분필이 뒤를 잇는다. 팰럿은 45.5도에서도 날이 서 있어 후추와 레몬, 백악질 미네랄이 명확하게 드러나며 짠맛이 계속 커진다. 만사니야 셰리를 증류한 듯한 건조한 짠맛이 이 보틀링의 성격을 규정한다. 피니시는 길고 곧게 뻗으며 풋고추의 뉘앙스로 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
rather different from the others, in that it starts with more precision, quite earthy and rather rooty, which suggests carrot, gentian, and even celery and parsnip – quite a beautiful ensemble, truth be told. The vegetables are soon joined by shoe polish, mandarin, damp chalk and even a little olive oil. Almost a literary profile, one might say, with something adorable, nearly refined
restaurant Palate
more peppery, more lemony, more energetic, chalkier still, and extremely close to the distillate, just how we like them. The saltiness only grows, taking us once more in the direction of a distilled manzanilla (but who will dare make one someday?) It also becomes increasingly medicinal, always fresh, always taut as a bowstring, yet never aggressive
timer Finish
long, clean, vertical, with a lovely green pepper weaving its way in, right through to a very dry aftertaste, and very... manzanilla!
