Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 딸기와 라즈베리 잼을 떠올리게 하는 과즙감으로 열린다. 곧 카시스와 모과가 더해지고 시간이 지나면 담뱃잎과 비터 초콜릿의 어두운 층이 발전한다. 59.1도의 입은 첫 모금부터 매섭다. 칠리를 연상시키는 매운맛과 허브 비터, 호밀빵의 구수함이 밀려들어 물을 부르는 구조다. 가수하면 캠퍼와 검은 과일 잼, 갓 볶은 커피가 살아나며 훨씬 크리미해진다. 피니시는 길고 과일과 빵의 향이 향신료와 함께 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
juicy, jammy, generous and modern in the best sense. Rather lot of sweetness and some quite specific notes of strawberry and raspberry jams. Also bramble leaf, quince and cassis. With some time comes these deeper and earthier notes that also involve tobaccos and bitter chocolate. With water: gets rather orangey, with aged Cointreau, bitter marmalade and some figs and prunes
restaurant Palate
another sherry beast! Immediately big, spicy, assertive and rather hot with wee chilli pepper notes that recall some Tabasco and then herbal bitters, winter ales and pumpernickel bread. Feels like it needs water. With water: creamier and more complex now with water, which is quite the improvement. Getting more towards camphor, dark fruit jams, more bitter marmalades, freshly roast coffee beans and bacon frazzles - if you are a connoisseur of UK pub snacks. Pretty excellent once reduced I'd say
timer Finish
long, richly fruity, bready, spicy and still with a nicely intricate mix of jams and reduced dark fruit notes
