Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 셰리 벗에서 16년을 보냈지만 통의 색이 거의 옮겨가지 않아 색은 금빛에 머문다. 노즈에서는 갓 벤 풀과 갓 짜낸 오렌지 주스의 신선함이 명확하게 드러나고 바닐라의 개입은 미미하다. 팰럿은 작은 베리류로 증류한 오드비를 연상시킬 만큼 순수한 증류액의 성격을 보여준다. 보리차와 멜론, 잘 익은 사과, 레몬그라스가 순서대로 이어지며 57.4도임에도 자극이 과하지 않다. 피니시는 중간 길이이며 보리의 단맛이 또렷이 깃든다.
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
