Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 버터스카치와 초콜릿이 가장 먼저 두드러지고 곧 모카와 에스프레소의 볶은 향이 따라온다. 물을 더하면 호두와 볶은 땅콩, 신 체리가 살아나며 아몬티야도를 연상시키는 쪽으로 발전한다. 입은 힘이 강하고 케이크처럼 진하다. 살짝 태운 브라우니와 피칸파이에 몰트의 단맛이 겹치고 정향과 캐러웨이가 구조를 잡는다. 피니시는 길고 감초와 마멀레이드가 남는다. 55.4도 퍼스트필 셰리 호그스헤드다운 밀도를 지녔다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
plain and pure butterscotch and chocolate, plus some mocha and moka. My favourite these days would stem from Ethiopia. That's all, but watch what will happen once we've added water… With water: amontillado! More walnuts, roasted peanuts, black nougat, then espresso, raw chocolate, flints, notes of sour cherries. A nose that's displaying touches of Chambertin. Oh and I cannot not think of Benromach here and there, but that's probably my mind playing tricks on me
restaurant Palate
really punchy and extremely cakey. Slightly burnt brownies, pecan pie, some meat (say well-aged grouse meat, minimum two weeks!) and rather a lot of malt. Pretty gamey this far. With water: even more on game, rocks, peppers and cloves, caraway, earth, eggplants, mint sauce, more sour cherries, pipe tobacco…
timer Finish
long and meatier/flintier yet. Venison plus retsina, liquorice and marmalade
