Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 크레이겔라키는 벌레통 응축기를 고집해 유황빛 도는 묵직하고 왁스 같은 원액으로 알려져 있다. 23년은 퍼스트필 버번과 셰리 통에서 키워 46도로 병입한 보틀링이다. 황금빛 잔에서 허브와 새콤한 과일, 키위와 자몽, 담배와 마지팬 향이 복잡하게 오른다. 입안에서는 견과와 아몬드의 고소함, 왁스 같은 질감과 레몬, 알싸한 후추가 또렷하게 흐른다. 여운은 잘 마른 슈냉 와인처럼 길고 정교하게 이어진다.

right, we’re way above both the 13 and the 17, for sure. This is much more complex, with more herbs and tart fruits, kiwis, grapefruits, rhubarb, then tobacco and clay, marzipan, then more earth, citrons, old style mouthwash (we had one called Eau de Botot a long time ago), then a steely touch, metal polish… I have to say this baby noses older than 23, and once again I cannot not think of some great old Rosebank, such as the official 20yo white label. A great surprise
restaurant Palate
good, this is really very good. Love the nutty/almondy character, the waxy mouth feel, all the lemons and grapefruits, the light peppery side, the evanescent medicinal profile (good antiseptic – should that exist), the touches of absinth and limoncello (again), the solid peppery backbone… Really high class!
timer Finish
long, chiselled, like a great old dry chenin from a good house
