Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 배럴에서 숙성한 뒤 올로로소 셰리에서 마무리한 두 우드가 이 나포그 캐슬 16년의 결을 풍성하게 갈라놓는다. 북아일랜드 부시밀스가 빚은 이 아이리시 위스키는 코끝에 꿀과 말린 살구, 옅은 견과 향을 부드럽게 펼친다. 40도의 도수가 입안에서 토피와 건포도, 보리 단맛을 잔잔히 감싸고 아이리시다운 매끈한 결이 흐름을 받친다. 짙은 황금빛 잔 너머로 꿀과 마른 과일의 여운이 부드럽게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
hyper-mega fruity, as expected. Would make a 1976 Benriach nose like an Octomore in comparison. Quite. And it’s also very Irish, with these sweet metallic notes (copper?) and the touches of slightly sour mango compote. Other than that, it’s banana and guava galore
restaurant Palate
very easy, very fruity. It’s a rather light body but it does sing and has got some oily texture, bizarrely. Bananas and guavas again, plus a touch of litchi and then rather more oak than I expected. Strong rosehip tea, sour apples, green apricots, cinnamon
timer Finish
relatively short. More rosehip tea with bits of dried guavas and grated cinnamon. A touch of beer in the aftertaste
