Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 기울이면 오렌지가 섞인 낯선 금빛이 눈에 먼저 들어온다. 코를 가져가면 젖은 진흙과 오래된 저장고 향이 앞장서고 럼과 마라스키노를 닮은 달큰함이 뒤에서 스민다. 한 모금 머금으면 59.6도의 힘이 혀를 강하게 치고 검은 체리와 흑후추가 연달아 터진다. 물을 섞어 다시 삼키면 단맛이 늘고 고무 같은 향이 살짝 고개를 든다. 삼킨 뒤에는 오렌지와 가죽, 흙내가 겹쳐 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
orangey gold (strange colour)
air Nose
it’s the Silver Seal with ten less years and ten more degrees, simple as that. Same earthy tones, clay and even mud (clean mud, eh), with added notes of rum in the background. Seriously, I’m wondering if this wasn’t (secretly) finished in a rum cask. Same hints of maraschino as well. Am I not dreaming of Italy too much? With water: between an old wine cellar and some fresh mushrooms, with some rubber and shoe polish behind all that. Not the rubbery kind of rubber, if you see what I mean
restaurant Palate
ho-ho-ho, this is powerful! A blast of rum once again, bitter oranges, soft and black peppers, black cherries and these earthy tones that just wouldn’t go away. We won’t complain. Gets a tad too peppery after a moment, water may be needed again. With water: sweeter but also a little more rubbery. Bitter oranges?
timer Finish
long, on oranges, leather, earth and rubber
