Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 구릿빛이 잔에 깊게 비친다. 텍사스 발코니스 증류소의 싱글 몰트 4년은 어린 위스키답지 않은 무게를 가지고 있다. 코에는 진한 캐러멜과 구운 옥수수, 시나몬이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입에서는 64.2도의 강한 도수가 메이플 시럽과 다크초콜릿, 구운 호두를 빽빽하게 입에 채운다. 새 유럽 오크의 영향으로 옅은 정향과 후추가 따라오며 마지막에 따뜻한 단맛이 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark red amber
air Nose
nosing a pan of warm molasses, or maybe forgotten mulled wine. There are many cooked fruits, prunes, oranges… Then round spices, aniseed, peppermint… Then toffee and charcoal, very strong Danish liquorice (okay, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, as you like…), then drops of paint thinner, maybe, but it’s not solventy at all. I also find obvious notes of bitters, or Fernet Branca, amer bière… There is a smokiness for sure, but much less than in the Californians that we had before. Smoked chocolate
restaurant Palate
Jesus Mary and Joseph! Chewing a bunch of cigars, drinking pure pitch, ingesting ten litres of smoked lapsang souchong tea reduced down to 1cl by cooking them for three weaks (or something like that), same with bitter oranges, same with tar liqueur, liquorice liqueur… It’s one of the heaviest spirits I could try, but frankly, it’s not that smoky. I think the original Brimstone was smokier, according to my notes
timer Finish
extremely long, maybe a notch too acrid/gritty? Too oaky? Burnt?
