Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밀짚빛이 잔 속에서 투명하게 빛난다. 리필 셰리 캐스크의 간섭이 옅은 덕에 증류액 자체의 힘이 앞으로 나온다. 맥아 음료와 퍼지, 밀크 초콜릿의 향이 두껍게 올라오고 그 사이로 건포도와 호두, 옅은 멘톨이 스친다. 46도의 입안은 몰트의 단맛과 카푸치노, 캐러멜, 감초가 이어지며 초콜릿의 결이 끝까지 중심을 지킨다. 여운은 길게 이어지고 세비야 오렌지와 바닐라, 여린 훈연의 쌉쌀함이 마지막에 남는다.

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
