Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 맑은 황금빛이 잔벽을 타고 흐른다. 코끝에 가져가면 오크니 하이랜드 파크다운 히스 꽃꿀과 마른 풀 연기, 가벼운 향신료가 어우러져 올라온다. 숨을 더 들이켜면 오렌지 껍질과 밀랍이 겹쳐 올라온다. 한 모금을 머금으면 1986년 빈티지가 빚은 졸인 과일과 꿀, 은은한 피트가 혀를 감싼다. 55.1도를 삼키면 18년이 다듬은 꽃꿀의 단맛과 잔잔한 훈연이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
frankly, it really makes me think of a regular 18yo that would have been bottled at higher proof. Same kind of profile, just with more oomph. Please read above. With water: seriously, it’s almost the same whisky as the regular 18. Maybe it’s just a tad earthier – or maybe not
restaurant Palate
creamy and punchy at the same time, peppery, with quite some orange marmalade in the attack. It’s quite smoky as well, rather dry. Once again, we’re quite close to the regular 18 but of course, the extra-12% vol. make more difference on the palate than on the nose. With water: well, it’s almost the same whisky now. Maybe a little more orange marmalade and kumquats. Also the mouth feel is a tad creamier but I didn’t try to use deionised water and probably didn’t manage to reduce this baby down to exactly 43%
timer Finish
same comments. Maybe a little more pepper
