Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 사탕수수 설탕 같은 부드러운 단맛으로 열리고 그 뒤로 옅은 훈연과 곡물의 구수함이 깔린다. 시간이 지나면 죽처럼 걸쭉한 시리얼 뉘앙스가 짙어져 야생적인 인상까지 준다. 46도의 입은 향보다 힘이 있다. 옅은 짠맛과 감초, 진하게 우린 얼그레이가 이어지고 제비꽃 사탕과 블랙베리 젤리가 스친다. 마무리에는 묵은 호두의 쌉쌀함이 남는다. 피니시는 길고 훈연과 단맛이 동시에 이어지는 1990년 증류분이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
sweeter and quite softer at first nosing, with indeed a little cane sugar this time (eh?) and much shier peatiness and smokiness. Even more mashed potatoes and grain in this one, the whole getting frankly porridgy after a moment, with even whiffs of horse sweat. Soft and wild at the same time
restaurant Palate
punchier and peatier than on the nose, slightly salty, with also quite some liquorice and earl grey tea (heavily infused). Hints of stout, violet sweets, blackberry jelly. Again this bitterness (more old walnuts here)
timer Finish
long, more ‘peaty and candied’. This one isn’t too winey, but one can feel it’s not ‘regular’ whisky and that ‘something’ happened. I liked the rum version’s cleanliness a little better I must say. 79 points . Another Roman label we made 'just for fun' a few years ago when that famous ‘fake Macallans’ issue occured. Benriach 12 yo 'Importanticus Fumosus' (46%, OB, Peated Port Finish, 2520 bottles, 2007) Do you spot ‘port’ in Importanticus?
