Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밀짚빛이 잔 속에 맑게 잠겨 있다. 61.2도의 첫 향은 뜻밖에도 볶은 커피의 쌉쌀함으로 열리고 그 뒤로 생아몬드와 소금물, 해초와 고둥의 갯내가 차례로 드러난다. 살짝 그을린 빵 껍질도 스친다. 입은 아몬드 기름과 레몬즙, 피클 국물이 뒤섞인 듯 날카롭게 벼려져 있으며 26년의 세월에도 좁고 단단하다. 여운은 자몽즙의 씁쓸함과 짠 뒷맛으로 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
well, as often with these whiskies at very high strength, you get quite some coffee at first nosing, and not too much peat. After all that, more fresh almonds, brine, whelks (and why not? Clams if you like), seaweed and the expected ashes. Also a little burnt bread but again, that may come from the high strength. With water: it’s the raw barley that comes out more, together with more coastal notes - rather warm seawater this time. Fodder silo
restaurant Palate
a blend of almond oil, lemon juice and pickle juice. Oh, and a lot of alcohol but I must say this is pleasantly narrow and sharp. Yep, like a blade. With water: brine all over the place, plus lemon juice. No peat monster for sure
timer Finish
medium long, more on grapefruit juice this time. And barley wine? Very briny aftertaste
