Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호그스헤드에서 22년을 묵힌 1995년 임페리얼은 문을 닫은 증류소가 남긴 시간을 우드의 결로 보여준다. 잘 익은 사과와 배, 가벼운 꿀의 향이 단정하게 피어오른다. 53.1도의 도수 위로 바닐라와 시트러스, 보리의 단맛이 또렷하게 드러난다. 옅은 황금빛 사이로 마른 오크의 스파이스와 맥아의 잔향이 깔끔하게 길어진다.
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
