Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 묵직한 몰트락 특유의 고기 육수 같은 깊이와 옥타브 셰리가 남긴 마른 과일 향이 섞여 올라온다. 코를 대면 가죽과 다크초콜릿, 건포도가 차례로 비친다. 한 모금 머금으면 55.5도의 술이 혀를 채우며 진한 자두와 후추, 짭짤한 감칠맛이 함께 번진다. 천천히 넘기면 옥타브 캐스크가 더한 향신료와 다크 슈가의 쌉쌀한 단맛이 길게 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
typical sherried Mortlach, and big time! Starts with struck matches – which is absolutely not a bad thing in this context, I insist, no rotten truffles or brand new rubber boots and such -, gunpowder (same comments), flints and roasted chestnuts, with then in the background, prunes, chocolate, leather and that very typical meaty or even gamey profile. With water: becomes more herbal, on parsley and chives, plus rocks and clay, then quite a lot of beef stock. Old wine cellar
restaurant Palate
a rich and extremely spicy attack, on peppered ham and then even more chestnuts than in the nose. Glazed chestnuts? Loads of that, and then a little caraway, liquorice and… yeah, chestnut honey. With water: more fruits now, Seville oranges, dried bananas…
timer Finish
long, with the pepper, ginger and caraway back in the aftertaste
