Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 바닐라의 부드러운 향이 먼저 두드러지고, 그 뒤로 보리의 단맛이 따라붙는다. 번사이드는 발베니를 기반으로 한 스페이사이드 몰트로, 1990년 빈티지가 23년 숙성을 거치며 꿀과 오크의 깊은 결을 또렷하게 더한다. 입에서는 토피와 시리얼, 잘 익은 배의 풍미가 흐르고, 59도의 높은 도수가 단맛 속에 강한 구조를 싣는다. 피니시는 꿀과 오크의 가벼운 쌉쌀함이 길게 발전하며, 긴 숙성이 빚은 풍부하고 단단한 균형이 돋보이는 한 잔이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
sharp. Chiselled. Beehivy. Herbal. Metallic. Strong. With water: pure. I’ve mentioned Dagueneau’s Pouillys in another tasting session, but not sure it’ll have been posted when this will be published. Anyway, yeas, Dagueneau’s best Pouillys. That is to say, all of them
restaurant Palate
amazing. I’ve had other batches at other strengths, but this one really rocks. It’s not easy-easy, and perhaps not one to sip without thinking, but it’s got these wine-similarities that we cherish. After all, good whisky is like wine, just a little stronger. Citrons, I get citrons. And metal polish, green apples, rhubarb, pinesap, lemons… Nah, it’s the purity of it all that’s just perfect, as well as the absence of dull woody flavours. With water: ziiiing! Totally perfect, despite a certain lack of, say complexity
timer Finish
long, perfect, a little rounder and a little grassier as well. One of the best lemon juices you could find
