Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
작은 옥타브 캐스크가 16년 끝에 이미 사라진 임페리얼 증류소의 스피릿에 진한 오크의 단맛을 빠르게 더했다. 향은 캐러멜과 말린 살구, 구운 견과가 또렷하게 솟는다. 51.4도의 입안에서는 토피와 잘 익은 자두, 가벼운 정향이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 작은 통이 농축한 단맛이 선명하다. 짧은 마감이 풍미를 둥글게 죈다. 짙은 호박빛 뒤로 여운은 마른 오크와 향신료가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
this one is much, much less expressive than the ‘Pinzgau’ at first sniffs and then rather more on those garden fruits and fresh herbs, then oranges and melon. Fruit stones. It’s very clean, very natural spirit and there’s something that reminds me of a naked Bruichladdich. With water: the oak comes out more. Liquorice wood (unchewed ;-)
restaurant Palate
very expressive, with fresh fruits all over the place. Apples, grapefruits, oranges and a faint feeling of juniper or gin. Gin fizz? With water: same, another whole fruit salad with a little grated ginger all over it
timer Finish
medium long, on the same flavours. Maybe a little more straight oak
