Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 갓 구운 타르트 타탱과 프랄린의 고소한 단맛으로 열리며 데메라라 설탕이 뒤를 받친다. 나무 연기와 오렌지 껍질, 솔 수지와 땅콩버터의 뉘앙스가 층층이 발전해 복합도가 높다. 팰럿은 잼처럼 진하고 꿀과 건포도의 당도가 중심을 잡으며 진저브레드와 백단향이 이어진다. 크랜베리와 석류, 핑크 자몽의 산미가 균형을 잡는다. 피니시는 길고 오렌지 잼의 단맛이 끝까지 주도한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold, so probably older and/or with more sherry, as all are untainted with caramel
air Nose
remember we found a lot of praline in the Amber? Well, this one has even more praline and smells a bit like a tarte tatin fresh from the oven. There’s also some Demerara sugar, more wood smoke than coal smoke this time, orange skin, many dried fruits (and nuts), a little pine sap and honeydew, touches of peanut butter, then more oranges… All that isn’t big, it’s rather a whispering malt but it tells you long and entertaining stories. I have to say it’s a great surprise that does not smell ‘un-old’ at all
restaurant Palate
it is quite spicy as well but it’s not just that, the base is very solid, rich, jammy, honeyed, raisiny… There’s some gingerbread (with a lot of honey!), then a feeling of sandalwood, funny touches of cranberry and pomegranate, a little pink grapefruit and then more wood spices, but never as many as in the Amber
timer Finish
quite long and instead of becoming too spicy or drying, it’s the orangey and jammy side that takes control. Excellent
