Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
벤리악의 마데렌시스 푸모수스로, 마데이라 배럴에 마무리한 피트 표현답게 건초 같은 옅은 훈연이 노즈에서 두드러진다. 그을음과 잉크, 콘크리트 같은 미네랄이 차례로 발전한다. 팰럿은 46도에서 기름진 질감 위로 바닐라와 복숭아, 레몬꽃 꿀이 얹혀 균형을 이룬다. 피니시는 중간 길이로 깔끔하게 정돈된다. 절제된 피트와 와인 캐스크의 조합이 개성을 만든 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
a hay-y, light, slightly chalky peatiness, almost the opposite of a coastal/medicinal one. A little soot, concrete, certainly quite some ink (flipping through a brand new book), and perhaps drops of brake fluid. Perhaps even castor oil
restaurant Palate
the quarter casks are much more noticeable on the palate. Oily texture, some vanilla and a ‘peachiness’ ala Ardmore, melon liqueur while we’re at it, lemon blossom honey, maple syrup… It’s really thick, but the whisky itself is relatively light. Good lemon, perhaps some kind of earthy limoncello… I find this very good, to tell you the truth, despite the slightly unlikely pedigree. You know, small casks, no age, all that…
timer Finish
medium but clean, ‘crafted’, and even ‘designed’, but its been done very well
