Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 버번 캐스크에서 숙성된 어린 킬호만의 생생한 피트와 레몬, 바닐라 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 4년의 짧은 숙성에도 아일라 신생 증류소다운 강렬한 훈연과 곡물감이 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 59도의 높은 도수로 그을린 오크와 시트러스, 바닐라 크림이 발전하며 구조감이 단단하다. 피니시는 재와 후추, 짭조름한 미네랄이 길게 이어지며 프라이빗 캐스크의 균형이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
there may be some kind of aroma-blocking happening but one can feel that this is top-notch tobacco-ish, walnutty, dry-sherried peater. There are also some wonderful medicinal tones. Tincture of iodine? With water: h-u-r-r-a-y! Old toolbox, musty cellar, soy sauce and fresh putty. What's not to like?
restaurant Palate
I find this excellent, it's one of these rare young peated whiskies where the added sherry has created a kind of third flavour dimension, around Italian liqueurs. Maraschino, amaretto and such. Smoked almonds and small cherries everywhere. A little ginger too. With water: perfect, this could be much older. Smoky Seville oranges and citrons plus a few shelled walnuts
timer Finish
long, full, zesty, smoky... The sherry really complements the spirit and never dominates. I also found one anchovy in the aftertaste ;-)
