Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
진한 구릿빛이 잔 안에서 짙게 빛난다. 켄터키 헤븐 힐답게 새 오크가 빚어낸 캐러멜과 바닐라, 옥수수빵의 단맛이 강렬하게 솟구친다. 13년의 숙성 위로 계피와 정향, 잘 익은 체리의 향이 겹쳐진다. 61.2도의 높은 도수가 입 안을 뜨겁게 채우며 오크의 그을음과 흑설탕의 진한 단맛을 퍼뜨린다. 캐스크 스트렝스 버번다운 묵직한 힘이 또렷하다. 여운에는 향신료와 캐러멜의 온기가 길고 뜨겁게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
unexpectedly dry and very, very oaky, on newly sawn plank and sour wood (damp sawdust). It’s also quite farmy behind all that, with whiffs of fermenting grass. Some vanilla and liquorice in the background as well as hints of sandalwood and walnuts. Improves with a little breathing. With water: it got grassier and kind of milky and chalky. Also something a little metallic. And asparagus? Fern? A very unusual bourbon so far, but then again, I know next to nothing about bourbons
restaurant Palate
much nicer than on the nose when straight, very oaky for sure but the fruitiness makes for a pleasant compensation. Pineapples, vanilla fudge, fresh orange juice and honey, with a little ginger and nutmeg. Good. With water: explodes with dried fruits and spices. Kiwis, bananas, papayas, vanilla and liquorice. Spectacular
timer Finish
long, very fruity. Pear and banana drops
