Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아메리칸 오크 엑스버번 배럴 안에서 2002년부터 18년의 시간을 보낸 헬리어스 로드는 호주 태즈메이니아 위스키의 골격을 단단히 짜 놓는다. 향에서는 바닐라 크림과 토피, 옅은 유칼립투스 잎의 청량함이 나란히 풍긴다. 입안에서는 60.6도의 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 견과류와 꿀, 가벼운 후추가 차례로 드러난다. 짙은 호박빛 끝에 따스한 오크 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
but yes, one of those rare whiskies that feel very oily right on the nose. Sunflower and walnut oils, lamp petrol, coconut wine, pad Thai, white chocolate, karite, suntan lotion… Who needs holidays in the tropics just now? Yours truly! With water: perfect putty, marzipan, sesame oil, and coriander. Bring the prawns! (oops, carried away…)
restaurant Palate
wonderful at this age. Many sauces and dishes from Thailand or why not Bali, garam masala, coriander, more coconut water, puréed avocado perhaps, sour spices… Now it’s a tricky baby, you would believe you could down it like that and forget about the high strength. That would be lethal, almost. With water: perfect. Notes of chicory and caramel make it a tad rounder. Torrefaction
timer Finish
long, extremely well balanced, spicy, fruity, and just ‘Thai’. I agree I need to widen my tasting vocabulary
