Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스웨덴 서해안 보후스렌 군도의 매서운 바닷바람과 차가운 화강암 풍토가 스뫼겐의 짧은 8년 숙성을 단단히 압축했다. 잔 속에는 옅은 호박빛이 잠겨 있고 노즈에는 1차 충전 올로로소가 풀어놓은 무화과와 훈연 토탄, 짠 캐러멜의 향이 깊게 머문다. 한 모금이 입에 들어오면 57.1도의 풀바디 알코올과 함께 다크초콜릿, 말린 자두, 그을린 오크의 풍미가 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 여운은 짭조름한 광물질로 오래 잔향한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
holy Suzy! And no one told me? Normally, we like Smögen when it’s taut, fresh, vertical, saline—but here we’re swimming in richness, motor oil from a Bentley (well, an old Saab), Brussels sprout liqueur (not a thing, thankfully perhaps), basalt sands, game, smoked fish… Bloody hell, this nose is extraordinary. With water: carbon paper, maintenance oils, fresh diving suit, cooked artichokes, and fermented fish (in the good sense)
restaurant Palate
rather warm, yet austere, packed with tobacco ash and salt. Almost confrontational at this point, the scoundrel fights back. With water: ashes, peppers, and a dab of concentrated molasses
timer Finish
very long, salty and peppery, with more tar and drops of spicy pizza oil and brine in the aftertaste
