Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코 아래로 가져가면 짙은 캐러멜과 초콜릿, 커피의 향이 한 덩어리로 밀려온다. 잔을 더 흔들면 볶은 견과와 검은 누가, 신 체리의 냄새가 갈라져 나온다. 한 모금 굴리면 55.4도의 술이 케이크처럼 빽빽하게 입을 채우고 태운 설탕과 피칸, 낡은 담배 파이프의 풍미가 이어진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 부싯돌 같은 미네랄과 고기의 감칠맛이 목 안쪽에 남는다. 2001년 증류액이 퍼스트필 셰리 호그스헤드에서 얻은 무게다.
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
