Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스트필 페드로 히메네스 호그스헤드에서 마무리한 시간이 노칸두에 짙은 셰리의 단맛을 입혔다. PX 통이 내준 건포도와 대추, 흑설탕의 단내가 향을 먼저 끌어올린다. 입에서는 말린 무화과와 토피, 가벼운 향신료가 매끄럽게 이어진다. 50.5도는 단맛을 단단하게 받치며 둥글게 흐른다. 짙은 호박빛 잔 끝에는 건과일과 오크의 여운이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
it’s rare for an independent to get this close to an official bottling, in this case the 18yo, and it’s brimming with walnuts, polish, toffee and dark chocolate. In the background, a few wild mushrooms from our forests—let’s say boletes growing under fir trees. Indeed, there’s even a faint suggestion of pine needles. I’m very fond of this nose. With water: mint and chocolate! Is there a finer combination? The shoe polish returns as well
restaurant Palate
lovely bitterness, more amontillado than PX, though perhaps it was a fairly dry Pedro, Malaga seco style? Anyway, we like this, earthy tones, artichokes, walnuts, but also orange marmalade with whisky (obviously with whisky, S.). With water: oh, very good! It carries on with those earthy notes, evoking some sort of chocolate-glazed aubergine (agreed, if such a thing existed)
timer Finish
long, very chocolaty, with a touch of hay and dark tobacco. Bitter orange
