Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 호박빛이 잔 속에서 따스하게 번진다. 1995년 증류해 오크 캐스크에서 16년을 보낸 임페리얼은 이제는 문 닫은 증류소의 흔적을 담는다. 잘 익은 배와 맥아 비스킷, 옅은 꿀의 향이 잔잔하게 올라온다. 53.1도의 도수에서 입은 캐러멜과 구운 곡물, 가벼운 후추로 단단하게 채워진다. 던컨 테일러가 고른 이 캐스크는 사라진 스페이사이드의 단정한 풍미를 증언한다. 곡물의 단맛이 끝에서 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
this is more austere, grassier, less emphatically citrusy, more mineral and, above all, much grassier. The mint shines through again. After fifteen minutes: it became much more aromatic, this time with more medicinal notes, that is to say camphor again but also mercurochrome. Mint flavoured tea, more and more of that. With water: this is funny, it’s almost the same whisky as the ‘Idunn’ now
restaurant Palate
thicker, oilier (which is what the darker colour already suggested), with more vanilla and maple syrup on top if the citrusy profile. There are touches of newish oak, especially the menthol and ginger hint at that - but of course it’s no straight virgin oak. Say it’s rather ‘modern’. With water: same as on the nose, it’s almost the same whisky as the pervious one. Maybe a little more vanilla, maybe not
