Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 스웨덴 서해안 증류소다운 짭조름한 피트 연기가 가장 먼저 두드러지고 스웨디시 오크 호그스헤드에서 온 향신료가 뒤따른다. 팰럿은 60도 도수답게 기름지고 단단한 구조감을 보이며 검은 후추와 훈제 풍미가 선명하게 발전한다. 피니시는 9년 숙성치고 짜임새가 좋아 재와 소금기가 길게 남는다. 어린 나이에도 균형이 단단한 스뫼겐 싱글 캐스크다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark straw
air Nose
totally pure, with much fewer oak extracts (unless the peat has been masking them this far) and bags of lemon drops. A little high to be nosed too deeply (it'll burn you) but you do already feel that this will be perfect. With water: it takes a lot of water and never stops becoming more coastal, with new animals appearing all the time, from winkles to whales. Maybe not whales. A perfect muddy/gristy side too does come out, as well as something a little metallic (coins, tools)
restaurant Palate
as we sometimes say, it cuts you into two halves of exactly the same sizes, to the millimetre. Some limoncello would then add some roundness, while this gingery/nutmeggy side is there again too, albeit in much, much smaller measures. With water: excellently pure and zesty. Up my alley. And the 96.9ppm peat are not a big deal (yeah right)
timer Finish
long, excellent, with a very pleasant spicy feeling in the aftertaste. That's that oak again, it's rather good that it would really express itself only by the end. White oak? American white oak?
