Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔에 그득하게 어린다. 스웨덴 서해안의 스뫼겐이 셰리 쿼터 캐스크에서 길러낸 이 위스키는, 북유럽의 차가운 공기 속에서 천천히 익으면서도 진한 셰리와 피트를 함께 품었다. 향에는 그을린 장작과 건자두, 마른 가죽이 또렷하게 솟아오른다. 한 모금에는 훈연과 흑설탕, 후추의 알싸함이 빽빽한 단맛으로 입을 채우고, 57.2도의 도수가 어린 기운을 힘 있게 밀어 올린다. 네 해의 짧은 숙성에도 풍미가 짙으며, 여운에는 재와 셰리의 단맛이 길게 남는다.
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
