Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 스웨덴 서해안 스뫼겐 특유의 강렬한 피트 연기를 중심으로 구성되며, 갓 자른 레몬과 바닐라가 그 사이로 명확하게 드러난다. 9년이라는 비교적 짧은 숙성에도 퍼스트필 버번 배럴이 또렷한 단맛과 구조감을 더한다. 팰럿에서는 후추 같은 매운맛과 그을린 보리가 앞서고, 59.6도의 높은 도수가 강건하게 받친다. 피니시는 재와 감귤 껍질이 길게 발전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
spirits at around 60% vol. or more, are, in my book, much harder to nose than those at, say 56-58% vol. In this very case, we're getting rather more acetic varnishes than expected, some acetone, wood glue, chamber patch glue, pear eau-de-vie… With water: immaculate salty, lemony, mineral beauty
restaurant Palate
another high-precision Smögen, this is almost a Patek Phillipe whisky. We could even borrow their own old tagline while we're at it, 'You never actually own a bottle of Smögen, you merely look after it for the next generation.' I agree all this is silly, let's move on… Spicy doughs, seawater, lots of ashes, lemon zests, grassy smoke, gherkins, seawater… I'm finding this just totally magnificent. With water: blade-y
timer Finish
long, tight, lemony, chalky, smoky, salty, very high-def
