Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 워터포드다운 선명한 보리 곡물과 풀, 흰 꽃이 먼저 두드러진다. 떼루아를 강조하는 아일랜드 증류소답게 향이 깨끗하고 곡물 중심이다. 프랑스산 오크와 천연 감미 와인 캐스크로 꿀과 포도 단맛이 더해진다. 피니시는 보리와 가벼운 스파이스가 깔끔하게 이어지는 마이크로 퀴베다. 보리 떼루아를 강조하는 철학이 어린 숙성에서도 또렷이 드러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
there's this loud and clear element that's rather crucial in my book, grains and the breads made thereof. I'm rather reminded of one of these long breakfasts you may have in posh hotels in Mittelleuropa, where they would have dozens and dozens of different breads on the tables (and champagne, plus usually terrible coffee, but that's another story). Lovely vanilla and plantain in the background. So, keyword: bread. With water: gets a tad more floral, with notes of fresh walnut cake and even a little chardonnay
restaurant Palate
the oak spices are talking first (curry, cardamum, cinnamon, caraway) then a few pencil shavings – cedarwood – and then sweeter fruits and grains. Bananas of course, touches of guava… With water: water makes it oilier and would bring out a little more lemon. Zests
timer Finish
rather long, perhaps a little oak-forward but that's nothing since in this very case, oak's the next flavour after bread. Milk chocolate and caramel in the aftertaste. Lactones C7 and C8 (gee…)
