Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들어 향을 열면 열두 해를 보낸 술답게 사탕수수 같은 단맛이 먼저 부드럽게 올라온다. 코를 더 가져가면 삶은 감자와 곡물, 죽처럼 구수한 냄새가 뒤섞여 순하면서도 거친 인상을 함께 준다. 한 모금을 머금으면 향보다 힘이 세고 옅은 소금기와 감초, 진하게 우린 얼그레이의 쌉쌀함이 지나간다. 삼킨 뒤에는 블랙베리 젤리와 묵은 호두의 맛이 길게 남는다.
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?
