Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코앞에서 흔들면 퍼스트필 셰리 캐스크의 흔적이 금속 광택제와 오래된 구리 냄새로 먼저 나타난다. 조금 지나면 아카시아 꿀과 비스킷, 군밤의 달콤함이 그 위를 덮는다. 43도를 한 모금 머금으면 거친 결과 생강의 알싸함이 함께 오지만 꿀과 몰트의 단맛이 중심을 잡는다. 삼킨 뒤에는 커피와 마멀레이드에 연필 깎은 냄새가 얇게 겹쳐 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
eh? Don't I find metal polish, old coins, old copper (grandma's kettle) and a lot of acacia blossom and honey? And drops of trappiste beer? And biscuits? Madeleines? Shoe polish? Glazed chestnut?
restaurant Palate
I find the 15 superior, but they are not that far away. This one's more rustic, a little gritty and rubbery around the edges, perhaps a little too gingery too, but I would not cry foul, it's a pleasant, malty, honeyed, rather old-school palate. Now is it 300€ pleasant?
timer Finish
medium, a tad 'cooked', malty and toffee-ed. The usual aspects in the aftertaste (remember, coffee, chocolate and marmalade) plus a little pencil shaving
