Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 하이랜드 파크 2003의 가벼운 헤더 피트와 1st 필 셰리에서 온 마른 과일, 꿀이 명확하게 드러난다. 아메리칸 셰리 오크에서 16년을 보낸 싱글 캐스크로 58.9도의 도수가 팰럿에서 오렌지와 향신료, 토피를 또렷하게 끌어올린다. 오크니 특유의 은은한 스모크가 셰리 단맛과 균형을 잡는다. 피니시는 길고 헤더 꿀과 가벼운 재가 남는다. 밸런스가 안정적인 싱글 캐스크다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
almost mahogany
air Nose
a lot of shoe and metal polishes at first nosing, then walnut bogs and pencil shavings. Add some Bovril, prune juice, rancio, a touch of earth, and rather some armagnac this time. Modern heavy sherry does make some whiskies rather brandy-like, does it not. With water: chocolate, patchouli and tobacco. It’s a little hippy
restaurant Palate
heavy, immediately spicy and meaty, with molasses in abundance and a good litre of walnut stain (I mean, it is reminiscent of walnut stain). Quite a lot of raw chocolate too (like 99%), the blackest toffee, and lastly, a little cherry liqueur, which kinds of lifts it and makes it a little rounder at the same time. But it’s still very heavy juice… With water: it takes water very well, that’s a blessing in this rather heavy context. Nuts, walnuts, chestnuts, fig cake, chocolate, a drop of chicken bouillon and a little raw oak, which usually implies a finishing but that’s ‘probably’ not the case here
timer Finish
long, drying, on chocolate and tobacco
