Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 깊은 호박빛이 잔을 부드럽게 적신다. 코끝에 가져가면 퍼스트필 페드로 히메네스에서 온 건포도와 토피, 녹았다 굳은 흑설탕 향이 달큰하게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 16년 숙성한 녹칸두의 매끈한 질감이 혀를 감싸고 51도의 기운이 말린 무화과와 향신료를 끌어올린다. 삼키고 나면 진득한 단맛과 가벼운 오크가 입안에 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
