Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스트필 엑스버번 배럴의 흔적이 이 스카파 15년의 향을 환하게 밝힌다. 첫 채움 캐스크답게 바닐라와 꿀, 잘 익은 멜론이 선명하게 피어오른다. 입에서는 토피와 시트러스, 옅은 바다 소금기가 매끄러운 질감으로 흐르고, 57.7도의 도수가 또렷한 힘을 더한다. 오크니 섬 증류소다운 둥글고 크리미한 결이 버번 우드와 잘 맞는다. 옅은 금빛 끝에는 바닐라와 소금기의 산뜻한 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
light honey, raisin rolls, vanilla, fresh oak, orange squash, muesli, coconut water, acacia wood. Nice! With water: gets pretty doughish. White beer, bread, grist, ink, supermarket chocolate, planks at Ikea’s. Not as bad as that sounds tough
restaurant Palate
pretty strong, on lemon and fresh oak, with touches of liquorice and menthol and a hint of brine. The saltiness is rather intriguing here. With water: we got it now! Typical soft saltiness plus honeyed doughs, sweet maize, sweet beer, those croissants… The saltiness really is intriguing here
timer Finish
long and even saltier. Where does all this salt(iness) come from? Same cigarette tobacco too. Salted butter in the aftertaste, or salted nougat, should that exist
