Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 사라진 리틀밀 증류소의 원액이 맑은 금빛으로 흔들린다. 코끝으로 가져가면 리필 호그스헤드에서 온 잘 익은 배와 레몬, 흰 꽃 향이 부드럽게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 48.3도가 둥글게 퍼지며 꿀과 시트러스, 가벼운 바닐라가 번진다. 1989년 증류해 22년을 보낸 로우랜드 원액답게 가볍고 화사한 결이 또렷하다. 천천히 삼키면 잘 익은 과일과 꿀이 입안에 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
tell me about light, floral Lowlanders! This is a big as the biggest Highlanders at first nosing and full of soot, shoe polish and ‘garage tools’ before it starts to unfold on more fruitiness (stewed mangos?), with great whiffs of eucalyptus, mint liqueur and tiger balm and then whiffs of musty old cellar, mushrooms and cigars. Even some ‘Chartroose’ as Tarentino would say. Huge complexity and even a feeling of ‘good OBE’ (old bottle effect – yep I know this is no old bottle)
restaurant Palate
awow! Very complex, oily, almost thick, with a lot of rum agricole, olive oil, lime liqueur and bitters. Very unusual in fact, I don’t quite know what happened here but what’s sure is that the end result is quite brilliant. A cask with heads in eucalyptus wood? Or an ex-Ardbeg cask? (that would be my guess)
timer Finish
medium long, on crystallised lemon zests and again these notes of chartreuse. The aftertaste is a notch more bitter
