Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌려 향을 깨우면 오렌지빛이 감도는 황금빛이 유리 벽을 타고 흐른다. 코를 가져가면 모틀락 특유의 고기 같은 육중함과 가죽, 쌉쌀한 오렌지가 먼저 밀려오고, 부싯돌과 커피의 뉘앙스가 뒤따른다. 한 모금 머금으면 43.4도의 도수가 가죽과 밤, 오렌지 껍질, 살짝 시큼한 꿀을 혀 위에 펼치며 거칠지만 개성 있는 결을 드러낸다. 삼킨 뒤에는 금속과 소금기, 세비야 오렌지의 여운이 후추와 함께 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
orangey gold
air Nose
starts with leather, bitter oranges, and Mortlach’s trademark meatiness – but that would rather be ham. After that, rather youngish notes of plum eau-de-vie and flint, coffee, as well as yeasty touches that suggest youth. A little earth as well, beer… I find it rather different
restaurant Palate
I like it a little better on the palate. Leather again, chestnuts, orange zests, something slightly sour (lemon juice?), and a little mead and mustard. Then a little metal, some bacon, and a little leaven. It’s a little rough, but that may be an asset
timer Finish
medium, with some kind of sour honey, more leather, and certainly more malt. A metallic/salty touch in the aftertaste, as well as Seville oranges, pepper, and caramel
