Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 적갈색이 잔 깊이 머문다. 1990년에 증류돼 2023년에 병입된 33년의 피티베크가 페드로 히메네스 셰리 호그스헤드의 무게를 그대로 옮겨온다. 향에는 말린 대추와 검은 건포도, 진한 가죽이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 머금으면 검은 설탕과 자두 콩포트, 약한 발사믹의 산미가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 44.2도의 도수가 스페이사이드 폐쇄 증류소의 마지막 농도를 길게 끌어준다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
subtle putties and various fresh paints, plus some old leather and a little malt extract. Then marzipan, a little gun oil, grape pip oil, linseed oil… indeed it is oily, and even waxy. Old beeswax, furniture polish, overripe apples, and an old Chardonnay from Burgundy. Your pick, be my guest. What's your vintage? It's also rather sulphury, but we're talking distillate-sulphur, as in, say Mortlach, nothing to do with the cask
restaurant Palate
very intriguing, as it's simply mirroring the nose, which is really unusual with these kinds of profiles. A little olive oil, propolis, various waxes and oils, plus very ripe apples and plums, with extra-skins. Well, I know what I'm trying to say. The whole's delicately austere, getting then leafier, with a little chlorophyl and green tea
timer Finish
not too long, with fresh walnuts and more vegetal oils. Green tea in the aftertaste, and some sweeter nougat as the signature
