Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 퍼스트필 셰리 오크가 만든 초콜릿 소스와 가죽, 담배 향이 두드러지며 올로로소 특유의 셰리 산미가 뒤를 받친다. 오크니 섬의 하이랜드 파크를 15년 숙성한 이 싱글 캐스크는 58.1도의 힘이 향신료를 강하게 밀어 올린다. 팰럿은 후추와 오래된 호두, 정향, 칠리가 단단한 골격으로 전개된다. 새 오크와 셰리의 긴장이 팽팽하다. 피니시는 길고 스파이시하며 비터 초콜릿과 후추가 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
