Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
유러피언 오크 셰리 벗에서 숙성해 58.1도로 병입한 이스테이트 단일 캐스크다. 노즈는 젊고 거칠게 열리며 타르와 흙, 솔잎과 송진, 멘톨이 층을 이룬다. 생코코아 가루의 뉘앙스도 감지된다. 물을 더하면 체리와 초콜릿, 성냥의 유황 뉘앙스가 드러난다. 팰럿은 니스와 윌리엄스 배, 자몽의 산미로 시작해 검은 파이프 담배로 발전하며 정향과 아몬티야도의 쌉쌀함이 뒤따른다. 피니시는 중간 길이로 쓴맛이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
golden amber
air Nose
even rougher than the 2018, but that may be the higher strength indeed. This time we’re finding a little tar and rather more earth, as well as bags of pine needles, eugenol, menthol, pinesap and such. Some raw cocoa powder too, as well as hard-boiled eggs. Not obligatorily a good sign, we agree. The jury’s still out… With water: cherries, nail polish, chocolate, used matches, mushrooms…
restaurant Palate
unusual. Varnish at first, then Williams pears (is it that young?), grapefruits, some sulphur again, eating black pipe tobacco… I’m not too sure, I have to say. With water: black tea, tobacco, sulphur, bitter oranges, bitter chocolate, cloves, amontillado, walnut wine… All rather good things, but it’s a tad dissonant
timer Finish
medium, a notch sweeter, but there’s a bitterness in the aftertaste that’s not very pleasant
