Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 올로로소 셰리 벗이 입힌 짙은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 따라 흐른다. 코끝에 가져가면 킬호만 록 곰의 아일라 훈연 위로 건포도와 다크초콜릿, 바닷소금의 향이 겹쳐 밀려온다. 46도를 한 모금 머금으면 그을린 이탄과 말린 과일, 정향이 혀를 감싸며 입안을 채운다. 피트와 셰리가 단단히 어우러져, 삼킨 뒤에는 스모크와 흑설탕의 잔향이 끝에서 오래 맴돈다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
straight young peat and little sherry influence at first nosing, it’s obviously not been finished in some first fill sherry cask. It’s soon to get rather oily after that, with notes of paraffin oil, oilcloth, fresh putty and then some ‘traditional’ coastal notes. Clams and fresh almonds would be the combo here. Also whiffs of coal smoke and just hints of antiseptic. It’s not very complex yet but the cleanliness is pleasant, it’s already lost all the rough edges that were quite obvious in the newmake that we tried at the distillery back then. Just hints of wet sheep (sorry, sheep, we love you almost as much as we love dogs)
restaurant Palate
the attack is rather sweeter and rounder, maybe it’s the sherry, with a peat that’s not as omnipowerful as expected but little fruitiness either. There are also notes of olives, that we sometimes get in young peaty whiskies, as well as quite some saltiness. Distinct ‘kipperiness’. Globally quite balanced
timer Finish
long, more raisiny now, with a little cardamom in the aftertaste and a ‘lingering peat’ (but why does peat always linger, I ask?)
