Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스웨덴 서부 해안의 차가운 바다와 거센 바람이 스뫼겐의 어린 원액을 단단하게 단련한다. 갓 비운 소테른 와인 캐스크에서 4년을 보낸 영향이 발그레한 황금빛에 비친다. 향은 살구와 꿀, 그 아래로 옅은 피트 연기가 산뜻하게 감돈다. 57.3도의 입안은 달콤한 화이트와인과 훈연, 시트러스가 팽팽하게 맞선다. 끝에서는 꿀과 짭조름한 재가 차갑게 번진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
if there’s a clash that would be Joe Strummer’s. Indeed this rocks, it’s big, it’s deep, its very roasted and toasted, it’s very smoky, it’s got plenty of spiced fruits (peppered apricots?), and above everything, it hasn’t got the faintest trace of rubber or sulphur. Instead of that, it’s got wee whiffs of old Ardbeg. Seriously. With water: Swiss cheese, fondue, basil, soy sauce, parsley, olives… All that is extremely impressive. Do they use a dunder pit at Smögen’s?
restaurant Palate
it’s a huge thing, and indeed it’s extremely rock and roll. Bake some apricot cake. Add pepper, tar, liquorice, ashes, a few roasted raisins, and plenty of roasted nuts. Like almost-burnt pecans. And then please stop, because this is getting very hot. Wasn’t that rather 67.3% vol.? With water: it’s artisan chocolate that comes out, together with artichoke liqueur and black olives. Once again, I’m impressed. It’s a case of ‘peat creating new flavours’. Yeah, just like in old Ardbeg
timer Finish
very long. I’ll leave this at that because this is becoming to long
