Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
덴마크 티 위스키 증류소가 PX와 버번 캐스크에서 4년을 보낸 렉스 보틀링으로, 잔에는 맑은 호박빛이 은은하게 감돈다. 향은 건포도와 졸인 자두의 단맛이 먼저 번지고 보리과자의 고소함이 뒤따른다. 입에 머금으면 49.5도의 기운이 또렷하면서도 거칠지 않게 흐르며 무화과와 꿀이 혀를 감싼다. 어린 숙성이 무색하게 셰리의 깊이가 또렷이 깃들어 있고, 여운에는 가벼운 향신료와 마른 풀의 잔향이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
I don’t believe I’ve ever nosed a whisky so deeply rooted in smoked butter. All the rage in Michelin-starred kitchens these days. Then a medley of root vegetables—those long-forgotten sorts that are now all the rage again too, thanks to those very same chefs. In short, it’s distinctive. With water: a burst of lime tidies the whole thing up nicely
restaurant Palate
this is very different, which means it’s good. That’s where I’ve landed—so many malts are mind-numbingly samey these days (largely due to everyone using the same bl**dy casks). Liquorice, rubber, hawthorn and linden tea (and a lot of it) … With water: smoked pear, of all things!
timer Finish
long, a touch more austere, with more ashes and a final whiff of dill-cured smoked salmon. Fitting really—smoking salmon with beech is quite the standard, isn’t it?
