Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 토스트된 오크와 캐러멜이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 프랄린과 인동꽃, 메이플 시럽이 뒤를 잇고 생강을 살짝 얹은 밀리어네어 쇼트브레드 같은 결도 잡힌다. 물을 더하면 딸기와 붉은 베리, 오렌지가 열리며 호밀의 존재가 명확해진다. 팰럿은 달콤한 오크와 향신료의 충격이 커서 희석하면 질감이 두꺼워지고 균형이 잡힌다. 위스키 에이지가 병입한 이 15년은 피니시가 길고 흙내음과 멘톨이 마지막까지 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
there's some oak as well but this time it's rather toasted and caramelly, while many more aromas are jostling each other behind it. I'm getting praline, vanilla, honeysuckle, maple syrup, no bubblegum (before you ask) and then millionaire shortbread with just a hint of ginger. With water: really lovely now, I find strawberries and other red berries as well as more oranges and, indeed the rye
restaurant Palate
high-impact sweet oak and spices! Also a little earth just like in the WT101 but it's all a little too strong for me, let's dilute it right away. With water: sweet and spicy, very rye-ish, honeyed, liqueury in a good way, with a thick mouth feel. Peppered Cointreau
timer Finish
long, with this oak and that earth showing up again. The aftertaste is particularly earthy/mentholated
