Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 첫인상이 부드럽고 달다. 사탕수수 설탕의 단맛 아래 피트와 연기는 아주 옅게 깔리며 곡물과 죽 같은 두꺼운 향이 서서히 올라온다. 팰럿은 향보다 훨씬 강하게 치고 들어와 짭짤한 감각과 감초, 진하게 우린 얼그레이가 명확하게 드러난다. 블랙베리 젤리와 호두의 쌉쌀함이 뒤를 받친다. 피니시는 길고 피트와 당절임 과일이 교차한다. 1989년 증류해 2004년 46도로 낸 12년 숙성으로 균형이 단단하다.
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?
