Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 받아 흔들면 갈색이 도는 짙은 호박빛이 잔 벽에 걸쭉하게 맺힌다. 코끝으로 가져가면 2003년 하이랜드 파크의 초콜릿 소스와 가죽, 담뱃잎이 올로로소와 함께 배어난다. 퍼스트필 셰리 오크에서 15년 보낸 오크니 몰트답게 향이 두껍고 어둡다. 한 모금 머금으면 58.1도가 후추와 호두, 정향과 칠리를 밀어 올린다. 넘긴 뒤에는 비터 초콜릿과 건포도, 커피 리큐어가 혀뿌리에 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
brown amber
air Nose
this is completely different, and you would be forgiven for thinking this is chocolate sauce, had you nosed this blind. You could add that you’re also finding leather and tobacco, as well as notes of tomato sauce and roast jus. And oloroso. With water: a wonderful sherry-y sourness, probably a little challenging to the beginner, but we both aren’t beginners, are we?
restaurant Palate
not as thick as I had thought, but certainly very spicy, hinting at some new oak seasoned with sherry. Big pepper, oloroso-y notes, old walnuts, caraway and cloves, and even more pepper – and chilli. Arrabiata sauce, perhaps? With water: expands and relaxes, that’s cool. More on chocolate, raisins, walnut and coffee liqueur, Xmas cake, sloe, juniper, aquavit…
timer Finish
long, spicy, peppery. Bitter chocolate and myrtle liqueur in the aftertaste
