Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 호박빛이 잔에 어리는 이 스뫼겐은 스웨덴 서해안에서 빚은 강렬한 피트 위스키다. 셰리 쿼터 캐스크에서 6년을 보낸 향에는 마른 풀 연기와 말린 과일, 짭조름한 바다 내음이 어우러져 솟아오른다. 57.1도의 도수로 입에 머금으면 짙은 훈연과 흑설탕, 후추의 풍미가 힘차게 번지고, 어린 위스키다운 거친 활력이 또렷하다. 연기와 셰리의 단맛이 긴 여운으로 남는다.

I knew this was going to rock and to be honest, I’ve been keeping this bottle closed for a good few months. It’s like when you have mashed potatoes with a truffle, you eat the truffle last. I mean, I do that. Sublime butterscotch and cashew praline, roasted raisins, super-old brandy de Jerez, panettone, black turon... I mean, how ‘world’ is this? With water: some splendid earthy developments, various fresh nuts of all kinds, old cigarettes forgotten in a drawer… I mean, I haven’t properly smoked a cigarette since around the year 2005, and I agree tobacco should be banned, but I can tell you that nothing beats the nose of a pack of untipped Senior Service, Craven A, Benson & Hedges, or even Dunhill’s. There, I said it, you may put me into jail

ah those quarter casks! Nasty on the papers, truly great in real life. I’ll say it, this reminds me of those stunning early ex-bloodtub Port Charlottes, a.k.a. the fastest whiskies on earth. Brilliant meaty and fudge-y profile, tar, lapsang souchong, old cigars, glutamate (have I told you about osmazôme lately?)… And chestnut honey, king of all honeys in my book. With water: gets dry and leafy. Careful, it’s fighting back!

long and Scandinavian. I know that doesn’t make any sense, but with all due cognitive myopia related to distance, that should mean sauna oils, pine tar, hard liquorice, and salted fish. What stereotypes?
