Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들어 코를 가져가면 갓 짜낸 레몬과 백묵 같은 상큼함이 먼저 인사하고, 뒤이어 갓 자른 풀과 신선한 오크, 파라핀의 서늘한 기운이 따라 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 레몬 셔벗과 새파란 청사과, 라임의 팽팽한 산미가 혀를 조이고, 퍼스트필 버번 배럴다운 발베니의 깔끔한 보리 단맛이 그 사이를 채운다. 삼키고 나면 젤리빈 같은 단맛이 풀향과 신 과일의 여운으로 길게 늘어진다. 47.8도, 12년의 산뜻한 개성이 또렷하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
fresh and citric at first, chalky and lemony, with touches of fresh oak (not totally dry) and just cut grass. A little iron too. It's very tight, with growing notes of paraffin and fresh cement, then green apples and a wee menthol/camphor combination. Refreshing altogether
restaurant Palate
really very good. Lemon sherbet, tight grasses, the greenest green apples and the greenest limes, then perhaps mirabelles and damsons, but it'll never get as mellow and rounded as some other casks that I had tried earlier
timer Finish
long and sweeter, more on jellybeans, then just a lot of grass. Perhaps a little too much sourness in the aftertaste, sour fruits…
