Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들어 향을 깨우면 여과를 거치지 않은 원액 특유의 옅은 황금빛이 잔 벽에 매달린다. 코를 가져가면 잘 익은 사과와 보리사탕, 바닐라의 향이 차례로 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 22년 숙성된 브레이발의 깔끔한 몰트가 혀를 감싸고, 53.4도의 기운이 꿀과 시트러스로 또렷이 번진다. 로 캐스크답게 거르지 않은 질감이 묵직하고, 삼키면 보리사탕과 흰 후추의 끝맛이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
smoother, richer, more on cakes and tartes. I’m thinking mirabelle and apricots, the latter remind us that this excellent little bottler is located in Provence. I’m also finding liquorice and sweets, say liquorice allsorts (what they call bonbon anglais in Provence and in the rest of France). With water: very nice, some orange cake just out of the oven, mirabelle jam, more ripe apricots, and even that spirit they make in Switzerland, called apricotine.… I think you can’t make that in France (in the EU?) because of all the prussic acid that’s in the stones. Sure you take those out, but the spirit’s not as good then, same with plums. Anyway…
restaurant Palate
good, creamy, with a warm fruitiness, on mirabelle jam, with drops of citron liqueur. Quite some pepper in the background. With water: same, plus more malt and beer. Shortbread
timer Finish
long, fruity, clean
