Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌린 뒤 코를 가져가면 호두 껍질과 나무껍질, 겨자 같은 마른 향이 먼저 인사한다. 이어 점토와 토마토 잎, 땅콩버터의 고소함이 뒤엉켜 올라온다. 56.5도를 한 모금 머금으면 가지와 아티초크 같은 쌉쌀함에 신맛 도는 커피가 겹치며 상당히 금욕적인 얼굴을 보인다. 물을 몇 방울 떨어뜨리면 스콘과 건포도빵, 모카가 열린다. 리필 캐스크에서 열네 해를 보낸 맥아의 결이 마멀레이드처럼 끝까지 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold, so no heavy sherry
air Nose
this one's ridden with walnut stain, green walnuts, bark, mustard, bone-dry vermouth, then weissbeer, clay, earth, tomato leaves and quite some peanut butter… It's an austere Macallan so far. With water: cakes, scones, brioches and biscuits coming out and making it rounder and gentler. Lovely maltiness from the wee stills
restaurant Palate
awesome bitter and austere Macallan indeed, with eggplants and artichokes, acidic coffee, green walnuts again, mustard once more, and dry white vermouth yet again. With water: it is another whisky, with sweeter pastries, raisin rolls, halva and nougat, mocha, indeed walnut cake and wine, plus a tiny idea of a salty/mustardy manzanillaness. See what I mean
timer Finish
rather long, greatly fattish and almost oily (Macallan), malty. The usual marmalade in the aftertaste
