Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
향의 출발점은 버터스카치와 다크 초콜릿이며 잔에 시간을 주면 모카와 볶은 커피가 뚜렷해진다. 물을 몇 방울 더하면 호두와 검은 누가, 신 체리가 살아나 향의 폭이 넓어진다. 55.8도의 입은 강하고 케이크 반죽처럼 진하다. 태운 브라우니와 몰트의 단맛이 앞서고 후추와 정향이 뒤를 조인다. 피니시는 길고 부싯돌 같은 미네랄과 감초, 마멀레이드가 남는다. 19년간 퍼스트필 셰리 호그스헤드에서 숙성된 밀도가 그대로 드러난다.
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
