Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 금빛 술을 잔에서 굴리면 셰리 호그스헤드치고 건조한 향이 먼저 새어 나온다. 코를 넣으면 부러진 나뭇가지와 호두, 연기 섞인 기계유가 이어지고 쓴 오렌지와 낡은 가죽 광택제가 뒤를 받친다. 한 모금 머금으면 50.5도의 술이 시큼하고 와인 같은 결로 열리며 겨자와 잎사귀의 씁쓸함이 끼어든다. 삼키면 감귤 껍질의 쓴맛이 길게 남아 1996년 캐스크의 독특한 셰리를 드러낸다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
this time it’s a rather oaky sherry that strikes first, a dry one, with hints of broken branches, walnuts and then a combination of some kind of smoky motor oil with bitter oranges and a little caramel. I also get some old leather polish and then more and more hay. Maybe even wee touches of manure. Another pretty wild one. A lot of ‘nice’ wine vinegar after fifteen minutes, or old barrels… With water: between earth and wine wine
restaurant Palate
rich, punchy, both a little acidic and vinous, with the spirits austere side in the background. Leafy and leathery as well, it’s an unusual style of sherried malt. Mustard. A super-fortified Manzanilla? With water: same feeling although the lemony side kept growing. Bitter lemon zests
timer Finish
rather long, citrusy, pleasantly green and much less vinous. Although some kind of big chenin may well be spotted here and there. Another very excellent one
