Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 올로로소 호그스헤드가 남긴 끈적한 셰리의 단맛과 정향, 스타아니스 향이 가장 먼저 두드러지며, 벤 네비스 특유의 묵직함 아래 대추야자 빵과 생강 케이크가 명확하게 드러난다. 가죽과 옅은 페놀 뉘앙스가 뒤따른다. 팰럿은 58.1도의 힘을 실어 셰리의 단맛과 쌉쌀한 다크초콜릿, 마른 향신료를 또렷이 전하나 8년 원액에 새 오크의 탄닌이 제법 강하게 밀려온다. 물을 더하면 그을음과 가죽이 살아난다. 피니시는 길게 이어지며 허브의 쓴맛과 아니스, 향신료가 남는 오렌지빛 앰버 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
orangey amber
air Nose
nicely juicy, sticky and sweet modern sherry profile. You can tell there's some newish oak in the mix but it isn't an aggressive component of this nose. Instead I find some nice cupboard spices such as clove and star anise, also sticky date loaf, ginger cake and leather tobacco pouch. There's even something suggesting medicines or phenols, like there was a glimmer of peat somewhere in the depths, which is really appealing. With water: BBQ sauce, charcoal and smoked paprika
restaurant Palate
the oak comes calling much more assertively and directly now, probably too much for me I'm afraid, it's getting a tad 'tongue splintery'. Behind that some very bitter dark chocolate and many more dried cupboard spices. With water: sooty, spicy and leathery with more of these rather punchy tannins and wood spices
timer Finish
long, very spicy and on punchy herbal bitters and aniseed
