Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 손안에서 돌리면 깊은 황금빛이 잔벽을 미끄러져 흐른다. 코를 가까이 가져가면 덤바턴 그레인다운 코코넛과 바닐라, 그 위로 녹인 버터와 옥수수의 달큰한 향이 부드럽게 올라온다. 30년을 보낸 이 위스키를 한 모금 머금으면 55.3도가 따뜻하게 퍼지며 크렘브륄레와 토피의 단맛이 혀 위를 미끄러진다. 천천히 삼키면 달콤한 캐러멜과 오크 향이 입안에 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
may I see the empty cask? This has some smoke and an obvious medicinal side, which suggests it was an ex-peater cask. Under those conditions, the very light distillate hasn’t much to say (the Bill Wyman of whisky?) while this rather elusive coastal/medicinal smokiness rather works. A very light Islay, if you will. With water: more of all that, even some ashes… Far in the distance, the usual coconut
restaurant Palate
once again it’s the peat that’s doing all the talking. White peaches and peat smoke, we cannot not think of Ardmore. With water: peat up! This is really funny… (and good)
timer Finish
long, smoky, crisp, with notes of lemon
