Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
어둑한 호박색이 잔 안에 깊게 머무른다. 크레이걸라치의 31년이라는 시간이 퍼스트필과 리필 캐스크의 합주로 향에 가득하다. 잘 익은 무화과와 가죽, 토스트한 호두, 가벼운 향신료가 차례로 깨어난다. 입에서는 52.2도의 두꺼운 알코올이 카라멜과 자두 잼, 매운 우드 향신료를 풀어 놓는다. 웜텁 컨덴서가 빚어낸 미트한 스타일 특유의 강렬한 보디감이 입천장을 덮으며 마지막까지 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes

air Nose
it’s simply got more tiny aromas from longer aging in good wood, in this case wee flowers and a few lactic smells. Don’t get me wrong, this is pretty perfect. I especially enjoy these notes of wormwood, genepy, chamomile, cumin seeds, hay… With water: metal polish, old copper coins, rhubarb, cress… The kind of notes that only come with proper aging! HInts of pineapple and coconut, that must be the cask
restaurant Palate
superb, really. It’s all on herbs, and we’re really getting into tinier ones this time. Borage, woodruff, celery, sweetgrass, wild carrots… This kind of profile is rare, and should be cherished. We could take care of that, Bacardi… With water: gets Thai. Seriously, we’re having Thai food now, with this superb bittersweet and spicy style, in all elegance
timer Finish
rather long, getting a tad oaky now, which will make it lose two points in my book. Dura Lex, sed Lex
