Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1996년 증류된 23년 임페리얼에서 배럴 숙성이 만든 바닐라와 잘 익은 과수원 과일이 먼저 두드러진다. 지금은 사라진 스페이사이드 증류소답게 깔끔하면서도 깊이 있는 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 48.3도에서 꿀과 시트러스, 부드러운 오크가 균형 있게 발전한다. 피니시는 가벼운 향신료와 마른 오크로 단정하게 이어지며, 폐쇄 증류소 특유의 희소한 개성을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it seems there was a bit of peat in the previous cask content, but it’s discreet and delicate, a bit like HP. Besides that, green apples, citrus, green apples, citrus, green apples, citrus... We love both. A slight waxy touch that reminds us of that famous distillery from Sutherland that starts with a ‘C’. Cardhu is not in Sutherland
restaurant Palate
same impressions, a bit of peat and an unusual medicinal salinity for Imperial, but it works. Green apples, citrus, ashes, green apples, citrus, ashes, green apples, citrus, ashes... and some beeswax. Nothing to add
timer Finish
same. It’s excellent, salty, ashy, lemony, waxy
