Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 앰버빛이 부드럽게 벽을 타고 흘러내린다. 코를 가져가면 성냥 그은 듯한 유황의 기척이 먼저 스치고 곧 귤과 오렌지 껍질, 흰 꽃의 향이 활짝 열린다. 더 맡으면 살구와 모과의 뉘앙스가 겹친다. 한 모금을 머금으면 위스키보다 오래된 코냑에 가까운 복숭아 맛이 밀려오고 밤 리큐어의 단맛이 이어진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 포도 껍질과 파이프 담배, 후추가 48.9도의 힘을 타고 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
whiffs of sulphur at first nosing (ha ha!) but that’s not a problem here, quite the contrary, that adds depth. Bicycle inner tube, then orange peel, tangerines above everything, peonies, lilies, and a whole jeroboam of well-vintaged Sauternes. Which, naturally, comes with apricots and quinces. Let’s be honest, this is a stunning nose that reminds me of the Macs that used to be distilled in the 1950s. Pretty brilliant indeed
restaurant Palate
okay, okay, okay. Even if this is more old Cognac than malt whisky, I’d say it’s brilliant, with even more ripe peaches and apricots, totally in the Cognac way. I’m finding a little rancio, a dollop of chestnut liqueur, and hints of orange blossom and rose waters. You could pour this over some brioche, or better yet, proper artisanal vanilla ice cream
timer Finish
long, a tad grape-y, with notes of pipe tobacco and Timut pepper
