Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밝은 금빛이 잔 안에서 맑게 흔들린다. 57도로 담은 백프루프 버전은 셰리의 무게보다 증류액 자체의 순도를 앞세운다. 갓 벤 풀과 갓 짜낸 오렌지 주스의 향이 놀랄 만큼 선명하게 솟는다. 입안에서는 작은 베리류와 오드비 같은 과실 증류주의 뉘앙스, 보리 물과 멜론, 익은 사과가 차례로 이어진다. 나무가 불필요한 요소만 걸러내고 향은 거의 더하지 않은 듯한 구성이다. 여운은 중간 길이지만 보리의 단맛이 유난히 곧게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold. No heavy sherry, I suppose
air Nose
what what what? This is e-xac-tly the same nose as that of the Douglas Laing, aroma for aroma. Perhaps just a tiny wee touch of vanilla missing in this one, but that is all. Amazing – and no, I did not muddle up my glasses. With water: last week’s cut grass and freshly squeezed orange juice
restaurant Palate
ho ho ho… Small berries and the eaux-de-vie distilled thereof, this is as close to some ‘pure’ distillate as you could get. In other words, the cask seems to have filtered out the unwanted molecules – which is one of his duties, as you know – but it did not impart any additional flavours. Not one. The end result is pretty brilliant, albeit a little simple, on barley water, melons, ripe apples, cherries, and lemongrass. Wheelbarrowloads of lemongrass. With water: same, just the same. Perhaps a notch more on sweet barley notes
timer Finish
only medium, but so perfectly barley-ish that you would start to declaim poetry. No, not obligatorily Robert Burns
