Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 익은 금빛이 유리벽을 타고 빠르게 흘러내린다. 코를 가져가면 아메리칸과 유러피언 오크 리필 캐스크가 빚은 바닐라와 건포도, 로열 로크나가다운 묵직한 보리 향이 함께 올라온다. 잔을 다시 기울이면 오렌지와 옅은 향신료가 더해진다. 한 모금 삼키면 57.5도의 힘이 혀를 데우며 꿀과 말린 과일, 옅은 향신료가 번진다. 두 오크가 단맛과 구조감을 고루 입혔다. 마지막에는 과일 단맛과 오크의 결이 입천장을 덮으며 오래 따라온다.
AITasting Notes

air Nose
oh, thank you, this is almost exactly what we had just requested, the style of the 12 GOT with more oomph. Same mashes, beers, ink, papers, cardboard, old books, grass, these whiffs of coal smoke (not peat), but then also fresh fruits this time, rather around our beloved greengages, cider apples, gooseberries and even sloe. With water: some gentler vanilla, apple pie, elderflowers, honeysuckle… It's quite spectacular to notice to which extent water rounded it off
restaurant Palate
excellent! Very vertical, tart, ultra-lemony, you would swear someone's distilled chenin blanc - and bottled the end result right away. No, actually, the result would be much sweeter than this. With water: very good, salty yet again, with more bready tones, perhaps even a little rye bread, with touches of fennel and anise seeds in the background. It's really an 'own style' that you wouldn't quite find anywhere else. Reminds me of those excellent crystallised fruits that good makers would often sprinkle with a few salt grains
timer Finish
medium, very good, dry but with good 'sooty' fruits, limes and grapefruits. Tart aftertaste, that's good
