Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에서 올라오는 첫 향은 사탕수수의 단맛과 옅은 연기가 섞인 형태다. 곡물의 구수함이 뒤를 채우고 시간이 지날수록 죽처럼 걸쭉한 인상으로 발전한다. 46도의 입은 향보다 훨씬 힘이 있어 짠맛과 감초, 진하게 우린 홍차가 순서대로 드러난다. 제비꽃 사탕과 블랙베리 젤리가 스치고 끝에는 묵은 호두의 쌉쌀함이 남는다. 피니시는 길고 훈연과 단맛이 함께 이어진다. 하이 스피리츠 컬렉션이 고른 1990년 캐스크다.
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?
