Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 오로로소와 페드로 히메네스 셰리가 감싼 보모어 특유의 잼처럼 달콤한 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 밀랍과 마누카 꿀, 구운 오크 위로 스페인산 하몽과 담배, 마멀레이드가 층층이 발전한다. 43도의 팰럿은 훈제 토피와 밀크잼, 버터스카치가 파이프 담배, 쌉쌀한 오렌지와 어우러진다. 피니시는 살짝 건조하지만 짭짤하고 고기 같은 여운이 인상적으로 이어지며, 피트와 셰리의 구조감이 단단하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
a nose that's extremely 'sweet', jammy, as if they would have used sherry plus rechar. A lot of beeswax and manuka honey (boy that got expensive), toasted oak, some caraway liqueur or aquavit, a small gamey side (grouse), some Spanish ham, cigarette tobacco, muscovado, marmalade, plus, as I had already noticed last time in 2017 (2017! Scandal!), echoes of Lagavulin 16. Must be a very specific kind of peat + sherry combination
restaurant Palate
a great batch, a great whisky, even if this amontillado-type of dryness might not be for strictly everyone. Stunning smoked toffee, milk jam, butterscotch, pipe tobacco, spicy beef soup, bitter oranges…
timer Finish
only the finish is a tad drying. Wonderful salty, meaty aftertaste though. Biltong. Coriander leaves, picante pizza oil, maraschino (really, there's something Italian to this one)
