Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 프레시 셰리 캐스크가 입힌 짙은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 일렁인다. 코끝에 가져가면 스페이 18년에 입힌 건포도와 오렌지필, 흑설탕의 향이 따스하게 밀려온다. 46도를 한 모금 머금으면 말린 과일과 꿀, 호두가 혀를 부드럽게 감싼다. 18년 셰리 숙성이 더한 단맛과 견과의 균형이 또렷하고, 삼킨 뒤에는 정향과 마른 오크의 잔향이 끝에서 천천히 옅어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
starts very malty and grassy, pretty austere, with even a little rubber, also fresh hazelnuts and almonds. Goes on with more ‘engine-y’ notes, damps chalk, brake fluid, Bakelite… All that is very nice, it’s not one of those rich and very honeyed/raisiny ones at all. More fresh walnuts, cut apples, and more barley after five minutes
restaurant Palate
really malty again, with also some olive oil, grape pips oil, green coffee beans, bitter oranges… It’s only after around three minutes that more fruity sweetness emerges, around marmalade and sweet curry, green plums, and a feeling of dried beef. Jerky or bresaola? You decide
timer Finish
rather long, and pretty grassy and herbal. Propolis, cinnamon, leather, menthol… A curious trace of peat in the aftertaste
