Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 빛에 비추며 기울이면 옅은 골드빛이 놀랄 만큼 맑다. 코를 가져가면 복숭아 파이와 피칸 파이, 판네토네 같은 구움과자 향이 겹겹이 올라오고 꿀과 멘톨이 뒤에서 향을 열어준다. 한 모금 삼키면 몰트와 말린 과일, 밀크초콜릿이 순서대로 지나가고 담뱃잎의 마른 향이 스친다. 여운에서는 1997년 셰리 캐스크 18년의 오크 타닌이 살짝 까슬하게 걸린다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold (no caramel!)
air Nose
ah, for crying out loud, yesss! Fantastic cakes of various origins, especially peach pies, pecan pies, Linzertorte, panettone, etc etc etc. You get the idea. Some honeys as well (it’s almost as if they had added a few hoggies of Highland Park while no one was watching), a touch of menthol, a wee hint of Cuban tobacco, and possibly some vanilla-ed chestnut purée. Obvious and luminous (S.!)
restaurant Palate
t.h.e.r.e. Well done. Malt, dried fruits, fresh ones, tobacco, proper milk chocolate, many cakes, and simply a feeling of joy
timer Finish
it’s where it’ll lose one or two points because of some kind of grittiness that’s a little unnecessary. But I guess you cannot have all these oaks without suffering from a little over-oakiness
