Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 버트 숙성이지만 색은 골드에 가깝고 노즈도 무거운 셰리와는 거리가 있다. 풋호두와 나무껍질, 머스터드 같은 건조하고 각진 향이 먼저 두드러지고 흙과 토마토 잎이 뒤따른다. 물을 더하면 스콘과 비스킷 같은 몰트 단맛이 드러나며 인상이 둥글어진다. 팰럿은 가지와 아티초크, 신맛이 도는 커피처럼 쌉쌀한 방향으로 흐른다. 피니시는 길고 기름진 질감에 마멀레이드의 여운이 또렷하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold, so no heavy sherry
air Nose
this one's ridden with walnut stain, green walnuts, bark, mustard, bone-dry vermouth, then weissbeer, clay, earth, tomato leaves and quite some peanut butter… It's an austere Macallan so far. With water: cakes, scones, brioches and biscuits coming out and making it rounder and gentler. Lovely maltiness from the wee stills
restaurant Palate
awesome bitter and austere Macallan indeed, with eggplants and artichokes, acidic coffee, green walnuts again, mustard once more, and dry white vermouth yet again. With water: it is another whisky, with sweeter pastries, raisin rolls, halva and nougat, mocha, indeed walnut cake and wine, plus a tiny idea of a salty/mustardy manzanillaness. See what I mean
timer Finish
rather long, greatly fattish and almost oily (Macallan), malty. The usual marmalade in the aftertaste
