Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 와인 캐스크의 건포도와 코코넛에 몰트락 특유의 성냥과 그을음, 흙내음이 먼저 드러난다. 베리 브로스가 체르나 트로얀다 와인 캐스크로 마무리한 이 13년산은 향의 결이 육중하게 발전한다. 팰럿에서는 석탄과 구운 밤, 기네스 같은 볶은 몰트에 비터 오렌지와 생강이 이어지며 48.4도의 도수가 구조를 잡아준다. 피니시는 길고 쌉쌀하며 뜻밖의 라즈베리와 후추가 남는다. 육중한 몰트락에 와인 캐스크가 붉은 결을 더했다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
the Orcines, only with much more cask influence. That would include vanilla, raisins, and dried coconut. What comes after that is very Mortlach, with matches, a meaty side that wasn’t quite in the 1999, some soot, some charcoal and some earth. A funny hint of volcanic scoria (perhaps). Some mad souls would even find a little botrytis in this – well, I certainly do
restaurant Palate
there are ideas of the Flora and Fauna bottling, with a feeling of coal and roasted chestnuts, of earth, of roasted malt, of Guinness… Some bitter oranges join in the dancing after one minute, together with some sharp cinnamon mints and bitter herbs. I find quite some ginger too, as well as something drying (tea tannins, cinnamon)
timer Finish
long, a little acrid and tannic, with unexpected raspberries. Or raspberry jelly, and maybe cranberries. That’s fun. Peppery aftertaste
