Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 신선한 버터와 바닐라가 가장 먼저 두드러지고 그 뒤로 옅은 나무 연기와 갓 구운 빵의 온기가 따라온다. 시간이 지나면 풀내와 견과류 뉘앙스가 함께 발전한다. 팰럿은 사과파이 같은 단맛으로 열리며 캐러멜라이즈드 넛과 꿀, 말린 무화과가 이어져 입안을 감싼다. 1990년 증류 후 버번 배럴에서 17년을 보낸 46도 보틀링답게 구조가 단단하다. 피니시는 길고 잼처럼 달다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
not exactly bold but very pure and clean, starting on fresh butter, vanilla and whiffs of wood smoke. Gets then both grassier and nuttier, with also hints of hot bread (baguette of course) and faint hints of violets. Rather complex and elegant. No sherry that I can smell at first sniffs but something sherry-ish does develop indeed over time. Also slightly yeasty. More and more buttery notes
restaurant Palate
good body, with much more sweetness at the attack (apple pie) as well as bunches of caramelised nuts and quite a lot of honey. Then dried figs, poached pears and plum jam. Coating
timer Finish
rather long, jammy, candied, with also sultanas. Terribly drinkable
