Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
향의 출발은 다소 시큼해서 발효취와 치즈 같은 뉘앙스가 먼저 감지되지만 곧 흩어진다. 그 자리를 그을린 자몽과 고사리, 들풀의 서늘한 향이 채우며 윤곽이 또렷해진다. 59도의 팰럿은 매우 건조하고 비터 오렌지와 레몬그라스, 라임의 쓴맛이 정확하게 드러난다. 물을 더하면 생강빵과 육두구, 훈연한 마멀레이드가 열리며 둥글어진다. 피니시는 길고 오크 향신료의 인상이 뒤에 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
same feeling as with the Lombard, this one starts hugely acetic, with even notes of gym socks and various cheese, but this time all that just vanishes in the air, leaving room for some ultra-chiselled notes of sooty grapefruits and a lot of fern and wild grass, even a little bison grass vodka or something like that. With water: water definitely killed any remaining acetic notes and brought out more smoky porridge and some baker’s yeast
restaurant Palate
very dry, with high impact bitter oranges, lemon grass, limes and, well, sooty things. Very excellent this time, no vinegar at all. With water: it got rounder, with a little more newish oak (gingerbread, pickled ginger, nutmeg) and a lot of smoky/ashy marmalade
timer Finish
long, with more oak spices
