Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 독일 글렌 엘스 특유의 부드러운 우드 스모크 향이 먼저 드러나고, 퍼스트필 아마로네와 리필 말라가 캐스크에서 온 건포도와 붉은 베리 향이 명확하게 뒤따른다. 팰럿은 51.1도의 도수를 타고 자두 잼과 흑설탕, 옅은 훈연의 단맛이 선명하게 밀려든다. 피니시는 길게 이어지며 붉은 과일과 향신료, 은은한 연기의 여운이 남는다. 독일 하르츠 지방의 글렌 엘스가 빚은 우드스모크 보틀링으로, 개성이 또렷하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
rich amber
air Nose
this reminds me of some crazy bloodtubs that Bruichladdich were doing. High extraction/flavouring and true punch in your face, but sometimes you had miracles. Believe me or not, there is some kind of miracle happening here. Sure the Malaga feels (PX? Moscatel?) and so do some curry-like spices plus a lot of aniseed, but it would just click. I’m surprised I enjoy it a lot (am I not on the edge of schizophrenia?) With water: wonderful chocolate and wood smoke. Pine wood, barbecue, cassis…
restaurant Palate
well, this is excellent. I remember Zuidam/Millstone were having something similar. Creamy mouth feel and a lot of chocolate, sloe gin, raisins, bitter oranges, PX indeed, spicy oak (clove)… With water: it goes the distance! Spicy marmalade, raisins, a little syrup…
timer Finish
long, perhaps a tad too sweet now, but not to unbearable extents
