Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 호그스헤드에서 14년을 보낸 숙성이 지금은 사라진 임페리얼 1979에 진한 단맛과 무게를 새겼다. 카덴헤드의 어센틱 컬렉션답게 향에서는 잘 익은 자두와 구운 견과, 옅은 가죽이 빽빽하게 솟아오른다. 64.9도라는 강렬한 도수로 한 모금 삼키면 흑설탕과 말린 대추, 다크체리가 묵직하게 입천장을 덮는다. 셰리 숙성이 입힌 짙은 호박빛이 잔에 가라앉고, 폐쇄 증류소다운 진중한 깊이가 또렷하다. 여운에는 카카오와 마른 향신료가 길고 깊게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
very powerful, the high alcohol seems to block just about any aromas that would be willing to rise towards your nostrils. Or maybe a little apple and pear juice? With water: that’s it, apple juice and pear juice, with a sootiness in the background. Simple but rather nice, let’s see what gives on the palate
restaurant Palate
very powerful, with a heavy concentration of limejuice and chlorophyll. Ultra-sharp, ultra-grassy! Water is obligatory. With water: works well, less fire, more fruity notes (strawberries, gooseberries) and hints of mulled wine spice mix (mainly cloves, cinnamon, Chinese anise.) Also a tad mojito-esque
timer Finish
long, thick, more almondy just like the 1969 was
