Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리차드한 아메리칸 오크에서 숙성한 뒤 레드 와인 캐스크에서 마무리한 14년이 토마틴에 붉은 과실의 단맛을 더한 싱글 캐스크다. 코에는 라즈베리와 바닐라, 구운 오크가 달콤하게 오른다. 입에서는 붉은 베리와 캐러멜, 와인의 떫은 단맛이 진하게 흐르고 57.3도의 도수가 향신료를 끌어올린다. 불그스름한 호박빛 잔 너머로 베리와 오크의 여운이 길게 이어지는 하이랜드 싱글몰트다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
we’re close, oh so close to the SSMC here! We’re maybe a little easier on the leathery notes and maybe a tad louder on fresh fruits (oranges again) but that’s pretty all. Same whiffs of struck matches and same punchiness. With water: exactly the same development as with the SSMC. Maybe a little subtler, with some aniseed and mint on top of the meaty and farmy notes. I like it
restaurant Palate
powerful but a little lighter than the SSMC as far as mouth feels are concerned, although the spiciness is big again. Quite some caraway, cloves, nutmeg. Creamy mouth feel, with some sultanas, fig liqueur, spicy herbs liqueur (I sometimes quote Dantziger Goldwasser), Cointreau as well, bitter oranges… Yes, it’s bitter oranges galore! With water: bang! Amazingly rich and fruity, concentrated, powerful and explosive. More a liqueur than malt whisky indeed
timer Finish
as long as a John Bonham drum solo – and as powerful
