Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 셰리보다 증류액의 힘이 앞서는 쪽이다. 밀크 초콜릿과 퍼지, 몰트 음료 같은 고소한 단맛이 두드러지고 호두와 옅은 멘톨이 뒤따라 발전한다. 팰럿은 몰트감이 중심이며 캐러멜과 카푸치노, 감초 사탕의 단맛이 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 46도의 도수가 이 구성을 흐트러짐 없이 지탱한다. 피니시는 길고 세비야 오렌지와 바닐라가 이어지며 끝에 옅은 쌉쌀함과 연기가 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
lovely at first sniffs, it’s a big distillate with little sherry influence, if any. Not too sure because there is a wee raisiny side, with also walnuts, so this could be a sherry hogshead as well. Other than that, a lot of Ovaltine, fudge or millionaire shortbread and then totally massive notes of milk chocolate. A creamy one such as Lindt (I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t quote brand names, this is just lazy writing). Also a little menthol. It’s superb distillate and the one of the maltiest malts
restaurant Palate
yes it’s an excellent one again, very malty again, chocolaty, with some fudge and cappuccino as well as caramel and sweet liquorice. Also candy sugar and then… even more chocolate. Marmalade
timer Finish
long, more on Seville oranges and vanilla. Oh, and chocolate. Slightly bitter and smoky aftertaste, very pleasant. Schweppes
