Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌려 향을 깨우면 올로로소 호그스헤드가 입힌 깊은 호박빛이 천천히 번진다. 코를 가져가면 아란다운 잘 익은 과수원 과일 위로 호두와 건포도, 오렌지 껍질의 향이 겹쳐 오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 24년이 다듬은 둥근 질감에 흑설탕과 무화과, 옅은 가죽이 매끄럽게 흐른다. 49.7도를 넘기면 견과류와 향신료의 온기가 혀에 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
rosewood
air Nose
I too feel confident this is a sherry cask, and an excellent one to boot! Indeed, notes of boot polish (no doubt the power of suggestion hard at work there) and cherry cough syrup, herbal wines, Serge's beloved green walnut liqueur, tomato vines and some rather expensive strawberry jam. I find it a very clean and rather sharp, precise sherry style. Quite excellent!
restaurant Palate
nice arrival, punchy wood spices, cloves, aniseed, freshly made espresso, bitter chocolate, more walnuts - pickled this time - and rather a lot of strong black tea, black pepper and game meats. Getting more leathery with quite a few bitter herbs, ala some long aged Fernet Branca perhaps. Nicely umami as well with quite a bit of miso paste and dried mushrooms. Really excellent drop
timer Finish
good length, long in fact, all on bitter herbs, walnuts and coffee with a dark chocolate once again
