Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 부드럽고 달게 시작해 사탕수수 설탕 같은 뉘앙스를 먼저 드러낸다. 뒤이어 곡물과 죽을 연상시키는 눅진한 향이 올라오고 피트는 아주 옅게만 비친다. 팰럿에서는 향보다 훈연과 짠맛이 앞서며 감초와 진하게 우린 얼그레이가 순서대로 발전한다. 46도에서 제비꽃 사탕과 블랙베리 젤리의 단맛이 호두의 쌉쌀함과 맞선다. 피니시는 길고 피트와 설탕에 절인 과일의 잔향이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
sweeter and quite softer at first nosing, with indeed a little cane sugar this time (eh?) and much shier peatiness and smokiness. Even more mashed potatoes and grain in this one, the whole getting frankly porridgy after a moment, with even whiffs of horse sweat. Soft and wild at the same time
restaurant Palate
punchier and peatier than on the nose, slightly salty, with also quite some liquorice and earl grey tea (heavily infused). Hints of stout, violet sweets, blackberry jelly. Again this bitterness (more old walnuts here)
timer Finish
long, more ‘peaty and candied’. This one isn’t too winey, but one can feel it’s not ‘regular’ whisky and that ‘something’ happened. I liked the rum version’s cleanliness a little better I must say. 79 points . Another Roman label we made 'just for fun' a few years ago when that famous ‘fake Macallans’ issue occured. Benriach 12 yo 'Importanticus Fumosus' (46%, OB, Peated Port Finish, 2520 bottles, 2007) Do you spot ‘port’ in Importanticus?
