Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 금빛이 잔 속에서 가볍게 빛난다. 66.1도의 술은 처음에 알코올이 따갑지만 그 사이로 오렌지 주스와 따뜻한 브리오슈, 캐러웨이와 정향이 스친다. 물을 더하면 바닐라가 크게 열리고 팝콘과 계피, 소나무와 말린 버섯 가루의 기척이 따라온다. 아드벡 호그스헤드에서 마무리했지만 아일라의 연기는 크게 드러나지 않는다. 입에서는 커스터드처럼 두꺼운 단맛이 혀를 덮고 옅은 피트가 그 아래 깔린다. 여운은 길고 자몽 껍질을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
burns a bit but the lighter fruitiness is already rather enjoyable. Orange squash plus warm brioche with a little caraway, cinnamon, and powdered clove. But quick… With water: some headbanging high-quality vanilla, even more rock and roll than Jack, then… please excuse me, I haven’t added enough water… riiiight, so, I was saying, it’s very vanilla-ed, and yet spicy, with touches of popcorn, cinnamon-flavoured fudge - should anyone be mad enough to make some – and just a touch of pine wood and dried mushroom powder. I am sorry but I do not seem to find much Islayness here, but that’s totally not a problem
restaurant Palate
another one that’s good at making you yodel. Very strong juice!... With water: ah, there, perhaps, a little peat, coated with the thickest cream made out of custard and American oak dust. It remains sweet and rounder than other indie Heaven Hills that I could try, ironically (given that it’s an Islay finishing)
timer Finish
rather long, yet a little peatier, with some green pepper, pencil shavings, and some grapefruit peel in the aftertaste
