Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
포 로지스를 담았던 퍼스트필 버번 배럴에서 9년을 보낸 캐스크의 영향이 스뫼겐의 강한 피트와 어우러진다. 스웨덴 서해안의 이 위스키는 잔을 흔들면 모닥불 연기와 레몬, 바닐라의 향이 선명하게 솟아오른다. 59.8도의 입안에서는 짭조름한 훈연과 꿀, 백후추의 알싸함이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 신생 증류소다운 야성적 패기가 인상적이며, 맑은 황금빛 잔 너머로 스모크와 시트러스의 여운이 강렬하게 이어진다.
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
