Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스웨덴 서해안 스뫼겐, 차가운 북해의 바람과 짠 공기가 작은 장인 증류소에 강렬한 개성을 새긴다. 셰리 쿼터 캐스크에서 6년을 보낸 이 위스키는 잔에 짙은 호박빛으로 빛난다. 코에는 토탄 연기와 말린 과일, 짭조름한 해초 향이 강하게 솟아오르고, 57.1도의 거친 힘 속에서 흑설탕과 후추, 그을린 오크가 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 여운에는 바닷바람을 닮은 훈연과 셰리의 단맛이 길게 이어지며 북유럽 해안의 풍토를 전한다.

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!
timer Finish
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?
