Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 돌리면 셰리 캐스크 18년 숙성의 짙은 적갈색이 잔 벽을 미끄러지듯 따라간다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 닫힌 브로라 1981년 특유의 옅은 토탄 연기와 잘 익은 무화과가 가장 먼저 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 50도의 보디가 짠 미네랄과 다크 초콜릿을 입천장에 천천히 깔아준다. 삼킨 뒤를 따라가면 더글러스 라잉 올드 몰트 캐스크답게 광택 있는 가죽 끝맛이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
this one is more difficult, it's even both a little watery (vase water) and kind of chemical (plastic, the interior of a brand new budget car). Having said that, we have also very interesting notes of tequila and white rum, with this unusual grassy side. Also walnut skin, then more butterscotch. This is less 'Brora' and much less smoky than the Signatory for sure, it's not the same distillate. Also something metallic (old tin box). After fifteen minutes, it became cleaner and straighter, with a fino-ish character. With water: iron and rust all over the place. A bag of old nails. A shame because behind all this metal there are nice whiffs of fern and moss. Well, maybe… Also a little sour cream
restaurant Palate
it's a little weird again, bizarrely sweet and sour, with a strange combination of lemon juice and wasabi. Not kidding. The metallic side got even bigger (silver spoon, even aluminum), there's even a little plastic, then lemon jelly beans or something like that. Not an easy one but it's kind of interesting. Some pepper. With water: forget about that, it became too metallic
timer Finish
quite long, a little sour. Apple juice and beer
