Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 오크의 개입이 극도로 절제된 채 갓 빻은 맥아와 포리지, 뮤즐리 같은 곡물 향이 먼저 두드러진다. 바나나와 구스베리, 옅은 효모가 뒤따르며 브뤼클라딕 특유의 날것 같은 신선함을 드러낸다. 바르삭 스위트 와인 캐스크 피니시를 거친 팰럿은 예상보다 풍성하고 묵직해, 사과주와 후추, 커스터드, 브리오슈가 층층이 쌓인다. 피니시는 길게 이어지며 후추 뿌린 사과 주스와 레몬이 또렷하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
this is unlike any other malt whisky I could try. Extremely close to the mash/the grains, with very little oak influence apart from a few notes of vanilla flying around. A little banana, porridge, muesli, gooseberries, a little ale, baker’s yeast and then hints of strawberry-flavoured yoghurt (all organic of course)
restaurant Palate
very rich, rather heavier than the usual Bruichladdich, fuller and bigger than on the nose. Cider and pepper, custard, touches of liquorice wood, brioche, cornflakes… It’s the fullness that’s quite impressive here
timer Finish
rather long, more on peppered apple juice and then lemon and gooseberries (with something of the famous X4)
