Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 짙은 호박빛이 천천히 잔 벽을 타고 내려온다. 코를 가져가면 오렌지 껍질과 귤, 살구와 마르멜로의 향이 겹쳐 올라오고 잘 익은 소테른 와인 같은 달큰함이 뒤를 받친다. 한 모금을 머금으면 복숭아와 밤 리큐어의 단맛이 코냑처럼 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 버번 캐스크에서 25년을 보낸 이 위스키는 삼킨 뒤 파이프 담배와 후추 향을 길게 밀어낸다.
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
