Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 볏짚빛이 잔 벽을 타고 가볍게 미끄러진다. 일본 홋카이도의 아카시 증류소가 퍼스트필 버번 배럴에서 세 해를 보낸 피티드 보틀링으로, 어린 숙성에도 짙은 개성이 또렷하다. 바닷가의 짠 연기와 레몬, 풋풋한 보리의 향이 선명하게 솟는다. 57.7도의 도수가 힘차게 밀려오며 바닐라의 단맛과 피트의 그을음이 부딪친다. 차갑고 청량한 훈연의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
we're straight on Islay, with something that feels like a blend of A and CI, at least on the nose. Charcoal, seaweed, tar, ashes, smoked fish, plus a touch that’s both farmy and mentholy with a singular coastal twist that now sets it apart. With water: oysters show up, along with bandages and mercurochrome
restaurant Palate
fat and even closer to A, with a distinct lemony feel and hints of tiny herbs seemingly kilned for days. Then tarred and liquorice-laced olives, and the expected saline touch. With water: swims beautifully, the peat turning even more citrusy and coastal
timer Finish
long, with almond milk and lapsang souchong in the aftertaste
