Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코앞으로 당기면 라프로익다운 소독약 같은 피트와 요오드, 그을린 나무의 향이 강하게 솟는다. 한 모금 머금으면 25년 숙성이 둥글린 단맛 위로 짭조름한 재와 훈제향, 옅은 바닐라가 겹친다. 버번 호그스헤드가 빚은 곡물 단맛을 천천히 삼키면 약품 같은 연기와 소금기가 입천장을 덮고, 숨을 내쉴 때마다 깊은 훈연이 되살아난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
sharp and briny peat. Lemon juice drizzled over concrete. Some bonfire ashes, tarpaulin, creel nets, grilled oysters - it’s rather hefty and even slightly austere. In time there’s a few glimmers of bandages and orange peel. With water: more smoky, towards smoked paprika, smouldering leaves, light tarriness and green pepper. More straightforward ashy and salty notes
restaurant Palate
sweeter, straightforward peat, black pepper, cured meats, black olives, more brininess, antiseptic and a fug of cigar smoke. Clean but rather simplistic. With water: some putty and clay notes, salt water, anchovy, hot smoky notes, beach pebbles and more antiseptic notes
timer Finish
medium in length with a wink of lusher, fruitier character about it. But it’s kind of fleeting and more of a sensation than a palpable flavour. You can also add more cured meat and salted butter
