Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 세게 흔들지 않고 천천히 돌리면 호박빛 술이 두꺼운 자국을 남긴다. 코를 대면 간장과 왁스, 성냥을 그은 듯한 냄새가 먼저 나오고 그 아래 자두와 건포도, 초콜릿이 뒤늦게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 58.9도의 힘이 곧장 퍼지며 오렌지와 레몬의 산미가 유황 같은 뉘앙스와 계속 엇갈린다. 삼킨 뒤에는 쌉싸름한 기운이 오래 남아 1993년 버번 호그스헤드의 거친 개성을 드러낸다.

yawah! (hmm…) A wild thing for sure because the sherry’s gaminess really plays with the raw and slightly sulphury spirit (it’s not the kind of sulphur that comes with some wine casks – yes sherry is wine). In fact, the whole smells almost like Maggi. Do you know Maggi? So lovage, soy sauce, some scented soap, waxes, cordite, matches and… prunes, raisins and chocolate. To be honest, I’m not sure I like this, it reminds me of a few ultra-extreme officials from five or six years ago or so. Not my favourite bottlings…

… and this is just as unlikely. Interesting it is but the sulphury notes don’t combine too well with the oranges and lemons here, creating a kind of permanent two-step feeling that’s slightly disturbing. On-off, on-off, on-off… Yet, it’s nicer than the Bourbon, thanks to the sherry cask I guess
timer Finish
long, with that bitter soapiness becoming louder
