Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 크게 한 바퀴 돌리고 코를 가져가면 달고 순한 첫인상이 다가온다. 사탕수수 설탕과 으깬 감자 같은 곡물감이 열리고 시간이 지나면 죽처럼 두터운 향으로 바뀐다. 한 모금을 삼키기 전 혀에 눌러보면 감초와 진하게 우린 얼그레이가 나타나고 옅은 소금기가 뒤를 받친다. 블랙베리 젤리와 제비꽃 사탕의 단맛도 스친다. 삼키면 캔디처럼 달콤한 기운과 호두 껍질의 쌉쌀함이 길게 따라온다. 리필 버트에서 12년을 보낸 결과다.
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?
