Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서 가장 먼저 두드러지는 것은 셰리에 가려지지 않은 증류액 본연의 과일감이다. 잘 익은 노란 과일과 미라벨 잼, 자두가 층을 이루고 꽃가루와 밀랍, 꽃꿀이 뒤를 받친다. 물을 더하면 캐러웨이와 아마인유 같은 기름진 곡물 뉘앙스가 드러난다. 팰럿은 46도임에도 도입이 강렬해 숙성된 미드와 말린 꽃, 왁스, 올리브유의 인상이 입안을 채우고 라임의 산미가 뒤따른다. 피니시는 길고 두꺼우며 꿀과 수지, 멘톨이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
what I just love here is that the natural distillate is really exposed without any obvious cloak of sherry. Instead you have this wonderfully plush, full and pulpy fruitiness. Ripe yellow and green fruits, mirabelle jam, damsons, pollens, beeswax and flower honeys. Also wee touches of mint, dried apple rings, golden sultanas and melon. With water: a king of oily and fatty cereal profile emerges - cereal eau de vie - with touches of caraway, linseed oil, vase water and lanolin
restaurant Palate
superb and powerful arrival, all on aged mead, dried flowers, waxes, putty, high class olive oil, mineral oils, waxed canvass, lime cordial and many wee herbal and medical touches. Just wonderfully full and ‘fat’ distillate that feels fantastically textural and mouth-coating. With water: again this impression of ‘fatness’ and breadth of flavour. Full of subtle floral, waxy and honeyed notes. Still lightly medical, mentholated and showing more crystallised fruits now
timer Finish
long, superbly thick, honeyed, resinous, mentholated, jammy yellow fruits, pollens and herbs
