Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 카듀 특유의 부드러운 보리와 잘 익은 과실로 열리고, 자메이카 팟스틸 럼 피니시에서 온 흑설탕과 바나나, 옅은 펑키한 단맛이 또렷하게 겹친다. 하이 에스테르 럼 캐스크가 더한 이국적이고 진한 단맛이 인상적이다. 입에서는 58도의 도수가 구운 바나나와 토피, 가벼운 향신료를 강하게 밀어 올려 구조감이 단단하다. 피니시는 흑설탕과 옅은 오크가 길게 이어지는, 디아지오 스페셜 릴리스의 개성이 명확하게 드러나는 한 잔이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
a little fruity glue at first, or nail polish, with some peach and strawberry syrups, then indeed a few tropical fruits from the rum, mostly pineapples, as well as fresh raisin rolls. This was finished in Jamaican pot-still rum but I'm not fining anything really 'funky'. Probably not what they would have tried to come up with in the first place. With water: perhaps, indeed, a little olive oil, which would make the texture rather a little thicker on the nose. Some good folks are making chocolate using olive oil, which I find rather good too. Nice nose, nonetheless
restaurant Palate
really to my liking, rather spicy but more malt whisky than rumsky, if you see what I mean. It's just a little hot. More raisin rolls. With water: the rum's influence got more obvious, with more pineapple, a little more olive oil, Juicy Fruit…
timer Finish
medium, on allspice, honey and, perhaps, papaya ice cream. A touch of viognier too but indeed, viognier can get very tropical. A wee salty smokiness in the aftertaste
