Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
윤기 도는 진한 황금빛이 잔 속에 고요히 고여 있다. 코끝에는 구운 밤과 순한 파이프 담배 연기가 먼저 오르고, 밀랍과 프로폴리스의 부드러움 뒤로 다크초콜릿을 입힌 오렌지 껍질이 이어진다. 56.8도의 스페이몰트는 입에 닿자마자 검은 후추로 존재를 알리고, 캐러멜라이즈한 피칸과 볶은 헤이즐넛이 뒤따라 두께를 더한다. 진하게 우린 홍차와 후추가 여운을 길게 끌고 가며 코코아와 민트의 서늘함이 마지막에 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
rich gold
air Nose
softer, rounder, and more immediately inviting than the ‘iconic’ Speyside, perhaps more suited to the lounge than the countryside. Roasted chestnuts, gentle pipe tobacco, a hint of floral liqueur (mullein), followed by delicate notes of beeswax and propolis. Then come the orangettes – candied orange zest dipped in dark chocolate – a proper indulgence. With water: touches of mint, camphor, and eucalyptus add a refreshing lift
restaurant Palate
black pepper takes charge straight away, soon joined by caramelised pecans and roasted hazelnuts. Another sinful treat. With water: back to candied oranges, alongside fir honey and a few drops of peppermint liqueur
timer Finish
long, with intensely steeped black tea asserting itself once again, accompanied by its trusty partner, pepper. Cocoa and mint linger in the aftertaste
