Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 버번 통에서 21년을 숙성한 이 토마틴은 통의 개입을 절제해 원액의 풀내를 앞세운다. 향은 화려함 대신 담백한 풀과 채소, 아티초크와 바닐라의 결로 열리며 부싯돌 같은 미네랄이 뒤따른다. 52도의 힘이 입에서는 코코넛과 바닐라, 마지팬, 검은 건포도의 크리미한 단맛으로 번진다. 맑은 황금빛을 띠며 여운은 생강과 육두구가 활발한 아메리칸 오크의 흔적을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s not an ueberfruity Tomatin such as the old ones that we enjoy so much, it’s rather an austere one, grassy and vegetal, that displays unexpected notes of vegetables such as artichokes or asparagus beyond quite some vanilla. I know that sounds unlikely but it’s actually very nice, not only because it’s ‘different’. Very straight grassiness. With water: becomes extremely flinty, almost chalky. Whiffs of leaven, then fresh parsley. Again, quite unusual but I like this a lot
restaurant Palate
much more sweetness than in the nose and a great creaminess. Coconut, vanilla, marzipan, sap, black raisins (suggests sherry)… All good! With water: gets slightly thinner but the profile is quite perfect, more or less on the same notes than when undiluted
timer Finish
medium long, with hints of ginger and nutmeg that suggest rather active American oak
