Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 프레시 셰리 호그스헤드가 입힌 진한 적갈색이 잔 안에서 묵직하게 출렁인다. 코를 가져가면 12년을 보낸 브룩라디 특유의 보리 단맛 위로 셰리의 건과일 향이 또렷이 떠오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 57 도수가 만든 두꺼운 질감이 입을 가득 채운다. 무화과와 다크 초콜릿, 옅은 시나몬이 차례로 따라온다. 삼킨 뒤에는 셰리 단맛이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
a tad buttery and custardy at first, but gets then superbly mineral and sooty, and I wouldn’t have told you it was Bruichladdich. Unless we’d have remembered that the first batches after the reopening had been pretty peaty (8ppm if I remember well)… Notes of bandages, old hessian, iodine… With water: that walk in the rain and on some Islay beach. You know what I mean. Kelp, floated wood, gasoline…
restaurant Palate
a tad easy at first, and then massive, punchy, citric and smoky. Not your average Bruichladdich for sure, we’d even call it PC-y. Oh well… The peppery side’s getting huge after just thirty seconds. With water: rounder and fruitier again. Smoked tangerines, chlorophyll gums, one bit of mango
timer Finish
long, more citrusy again. Lime juice and crushed chalk, plus some greener spices. Cardamom?
