Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
첫 인상은 건조하고 금속성에 가깝다. 향목과 삼나무, 여러 종류의 허브 티가 이어지고 시간이 지날수록 꽃 향이 커지면서 호두와 훈제 육향이 함께 드러난다. 팰럿은 이 인상을 뒤집는다. 건포도와 포도 잼 같은 진한 셰리 단맛이 입을 채우고 46도의 질감이 이를 매끄럽게 정리한다. 구성 자체는 단순하지만 완성도는 높다. 피니시는 길고 마른 과일이 남는다. 리필 호그스헤드에서 12년을 보낸 1997년 증류다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber. Darker than Ruby
air Nose
much drier, less easy, more metallic than the Ruby at first nosing. More fragrant too, with peonies and maybe a little incense, then cedar wood as well as various herbal teas. Rosehip? There’s also a growing meatiness, between bacon and cured ham, Spanish style. After ten minutes: the flowery notes grew and grew. Also walnuts from the sherry. After fifteen minutes: the metallic touches got bigger
restaurant Palate
wrecked! A lot of plastic! This could well be an accident, thank god I have a sample from another bottle… Please allow me one or two minutes (…) Ah, no, indeed, that was an accident. This is a luscious, rich, very raisiny one. It’s almost pure jam! It’s also a little grapey, the sherry’s quite immense. It’s a rather simple palate but it’s good, provided you like heavy sweet sherry
timer Finish
long, on dried fruits and raisins. Classic
