Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌려 향을 모으면 버터스카치와 초콜릿, 모카가 곧장 코를 채운다. 물을 한 방울 떨어뜨리고 다시 흔들면 호두와 볶은 땅콩, 검은 누가와 부싯돌 냄새가 새로 열린다. 한 모금 삼키면 55도의 힘이 그대로 전해지며 살짝 태운 브라우니와 피칸 파이, 잘 숙성한 고기의 감칠맛이 겹친다. 정향과 캐러웨이의 매운 기운이 뒤를 따른다. 삼킨 뒤에는 사슴 고기와 감초, 마멀레이드가 길게 이어지는 퍼스트필 셰리 호그스헤드다.
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
