Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들어 향을 깨우면 프루트케이크와 토피가 가장 먼저 인사한다. 코를 더 깊이 넣으면 구운 밤과 시가 잎, 갓 구운 브리오슈가 차례로 스친다. 43도라는 낮은 도수 덕분에 향을 오래 들이마셔도 부담이 없다. 머금으면 건포도를 박은 초콜릿과 프랄린이 혀에 퍼지고 몰트의 곡물 단맛이 뒤를 받친다. 삼키면 후추를 뿌린 퍼지 같은 매콤한 단맛이 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
feels like home. It’s probably not as deep and complex as the pre-1980 vintages, and certainly more focused on fruitcake and toffee, but indeed it’s a lovely nose. Glazed chestnuts, honey sauce, touches of fennel or dill, dried porcinis, cigars, toasted brioche and, yeah, sultanas. Really a perfect nose, and the 43% vol. make it pleasantly approachable, in both senses of the word
restaurant Palate
it’s a little narrow, perhaps, less majestic and ample than the old ones for sure, and maybe a little too toffee-ed and malty (Ovaltine-malty.) Raisin-filled chocolate, praline, butterscotch. The mouth feel is perfect, though
timer Finish
good length, spicy and toffee-ish. Peppered fudge
