Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
거의 화이트 와인에 가까운 옅은 빛이 잔 속에 맑게 감돈다. 8년의 짧은 숙성과 60.3도의 높은 도수 탓에 몰트락 특유의 갓 증류한 뉴메이크의 기운이 강하게 드러나 유황과 그을린 곡물, 포리지를 닮은 거친 향이 먼저 인사한다. 입에서는 힘차고 과일 향이 살아나며 레몬 스쿼시의 산미와 고기 육수를 닮은 묵직함이 스친다. 오크의 흔적은 거의 없이 풀 내음이 짧게 남는 여운은 다듬어지지 않은 야성을 그대로 전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light white wine
air Nose
oh yeah, it’s extremely new-maky. We just visited the distillery with the MMs and believe me, it does smell like this. So it’s rather sulphury and spirity – not talking about sulphur from wine casks -, quite feinty, slightly burnt and, well, relatively aggressive. Not very nice and very nice at the same time, depending on what you’re expecting. Pure pleasure or education? With water: porridge, porridge and porridge. Did I mention porridge? And a little soap, which is common in new makes
restaurant Palate
wham! Strong, fruitier, still very new-maky, with these burnt notes yet again and then some lemon squash but that may come from the high level of alcohol. No traces of oak, this could have been kept in demijohns. Interesting! With water: some kind of meatiness comes out and the lemons and oranges come out more as well, but it remains rough and pretty aggressive
timer Finish
shortish, grassier
