Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코앞에서 살짝 기울이면 짙은 금빛이 잔 벽을 따라 흐른다. 잔을 흔들어 향을 깨우면 킬호만 특유의 해변 같은 이탄 연기 아래로 셰리의 건과일과 꿀이 함께 솟는다. 16년을 버번과 셰리에서 보낸 이 위스키를 한 모금 혀에 올리면 50도가 훈제 과일과 시트러스, 옅은 단맛을 펼친다. 넘기고 나면 연기와 마른 과일이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
we know these batches, we know they were well peated, so we are quite surprised to discover such a soft, civilized Kilchoman, leaning towards mint, chocolate, smoked ham, crème caramel, and old white Burgundy… With water: I'll be honest, I know comparisons are not always reasonable, but this time I would have said a Port Ellen of a similar age and reduction. Off the top of my head
restaurant Palate
it feels like a slightly accelerated ageing, it could really be a 25-year-old from a southern Islay distillery. Which means it's very good, just slightly disconcerting. Maybe because of the reduction? A smoky and lemony caramel side, followed by tar, raw ham, and smoked bacon. With water: same, that 'PE' side comes out after reduction
timer Finish
long, graceful, and very beautiful
