Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에서 붉게 일렁인다. 아일라의 바우모어가 1997년 빚어 셰리 캐스크에서 스무 해를 보낸 술로, 은은한 피트 연기와 말린 자두, 제비꽃의 향이 겹겹이 피어오른다. 입에 닿으면 다크초콜릿과 건포도의 단맛 위로 짭조름한 훈연이 흐르고, 54.4도가 또렷한 무게를 더한다. 바다 내음과 달큰한 과일의 여운이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
between coffee and walnut stain
air Nose
guess what, I’m finding coffee and walnut stain, how bizarre. Then balsamico, chocolate (mole sauce), Bovril, soot, tar, prunes and pipe tobacco. Indeed, colours affect our minds, but anyway, this sherry monster’s rather heavy, which was to be expected, but within reason I would say. With water: some metal polish coming out, silverware, engine oil, new tyres and sneakers, new electronics…
restaurant Palate
pretty extreme and thick – thicker than the Black Bowmores. A lot of tar, once again this bitter woodiness, bags of prunes, artichoke liqueur, raw coffee, Maggi, salted liquorice and duck sauce. A lot of duck sauce, of course. This baby does not do things by half, mind you. With water: chestnut soup and cocoa, more prunes, mashed Jerusalem artichokes, a drop of salted balsamic vinegar, black tea…
timer Finish
long, with a feeling of prune juice kept in oak cask, with a spoonful of blackcurrant jelly and half a drop of soy sauce for good measure. Strong black tea in the aftertaste
