Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 감싸 쥐고 흔들면 옅은 볏짚빛이 잔 벽을 타고 흘러내린다. 코끝에 가져가면 체리 리큐어와 배, 크랜베리가 먼저 오르고 물을 더하면 보리와 갓 구운 빵, 효모의 내음이 살아난다. 셰리 호그스헤드에서 8년을 보낸 58도의 이 모틀락을 한 모금 머금으면 아마레토와 마라스키노, 체리 잼의 과일맛이 진하게 번진다. 삼키면 와인 특유의 무거움 없이 맑은 과일의 단맛이 길게 이어지며 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
feels a little hot and spirity at first, with very obvious notes of kirschwasser and perhaps bison vodka, then we find pears and cranberries, and even young fine de Bourgogne or something. Intriguing and a little destabilising when unreduced, to tell you the truth. With water: the barley is back, together with breads, leaven, yeasts and porridge. Excuse me, but hurray!
restaurant Palate
very fruity, more on fruit liqueurs than on eaux-de-vies this time. Amaretto, maraschino, Heering, guignolet… Got to love cherries, I do. With water: it's rather spectacular how the malt wins it once H2O's been added, although it would remain pretty fruity altogether. A croissant filled with cherry jam, yum…
timer Finish
rather long, clean, with those fruits but no obvious 'wineyness'
