Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1979년에 채워진 엑스 버번 호그스헤드가 33년이라는 시간 동안 카올 일라의 피트 캐릭터를 극도로 부드럽게 가다듬은 흔적이 잔잔히 깃들어 있다. 모서리가 무뎌진 모닥불 연기와 짠 자몽 껍질, 들꿀이 먼저 떠오른다. 52.9도의 입은 입천장을 천천히 덮는 짠 캐러멜, 훈제 레몬, 마른 보리로 흐른다. 옅은 황금빛이 잔을 채우고 여운은 부드러운 피트와 미네랄로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold-amber
air Nose
to tell you the truth I think not all peaters, whether young or old, tango well with sherry, but in this case, some obvious balance has been found. We’re navigating around lit cigars and cedar wood, leather oil, fried bacon (I know, I know, cholesterol), dried kelp on a beach, plasticine, and the tiniest amount of new leatherette. Some camphor too. Love camphor. With water: always love it when metal polish comes out. More cigars
restaurant Palate
an oily texture, and first some kind of smoked Seville oranges with cloves and caraway, then walnut wine, roasted pecans, some very salty bacon, then rather lapsang souchong and wee bits of black tobacco, untipped Gauloise style. Bitter chocolate. Feels ‘darker’ than it is. With water: careful, water can make it really very dry, but at around 45%, it sings loud and clear, with rather more walnuts, grass, and spices. Nutmeg, for example
timer Finish
long, greatly bitter and dry, with more tobacco mingled with liquorice wood. A feeling of walnut stain, perhaps
