Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 기울여 돌리면 옅은 화이트와인빛이 잔 벽을 가볍게 타고 흐른다. 코끝에 가져가면 왁스와 라놀린, 초록 사과가 오르고 라프로익다운 해초와 구두약의 뉘앙스가 뒤따른다. 퍼스트필 버번 배럴에서 16년을 보낸 48도의 이 라프로익을 한 모금 머금으면 훈연과 재가 앞서며 새콤한 사과와 밀맥주의 결이 스친다. 삼키면 재와 후추의 매운기가 다소 조이는 듯 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine – good news
air Nose
it’s refined, not ultra-expressive but that’s not a requirement, rather on wax, lanolin, green apple, fino sherry, green walnut, seaweed, a touch of boot polish…
restaurant Palate
despite the colour, the wood is a little forward, and it’s certainly much more smoky/peaty than all the older ones we’ve tasted in recent days. There’s a bit of that sensation of ‘eating the ashtray’ but if you’re into peat, that’s obviously part of the charm. Also, tart apples, a bit of wheat beer, and above all, no more exotic fruit than you’d find at the North Pole
timer Finish
fairly long, still packed with ashes and a good deal of pepper. Slightly astringent
