Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 셰리 호그스헤드 숙성이라는 표기가 무색할 만큼 백포도주에 가까운 빛이 흐른다. 코를 가져가면 석회암과 자몽, 인동꽃의 향이 먼저 열리고 구스베리와 스피어민트가 뒤따른다. 물을 조금 더하면 부싯돌과 보리, 마지팬 같은 광물성 향이 겹쳐 올라온다. 한 모금을 머금으면 군더더기 없는 순도로 시트러스와 곡물의 맛이 곧게 뻗는다. 삼킨 뒤에는 레몬과 쓴 아몬드, 김의 짭조름함이 또렷이 깃들어 있다.

fabulous, old Macallan without any apparent sherriness, how rare is that? It’s mesmerizing, with an incredible complexity that hints at the best of white Burgundy. No, really. Limestone, grapefruits, honeysuckle, gooseberries, fresh butter, lilac, spearmint, more grapefruits… Perhaps more a great Chablis than a Meursault or a Montrachet so far… Let’s see what happens once water’s been added - because it really keeps punching you after all these years. With water: silex! You just cannot beat this. And myriads of tinier aromas, raw wool, barley, ink, old toolbox, coins, putty, plasticine, marzipan, putty (you're repeating yourself, S.), graphite, asphalt, carbon, brake fluid… Oh, and one tiny green apple

I want to marry this whisky. The purity is insane, everything is just totally perfect. This is utterly grand. Please call the anti-maltoporn brigade (long time no see, guys!) With water: incredible purity and intensity
timer Finish
amazing. Lemons, bitter almonds, chalk, nori, citrons…
