Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스코틀랜드 북부 인버네스 인근 고지대에 자리한 토마틴은 차고 맑은 산악 풍토를 담는다. 호그스헤드에서 21년을 보낸 이 윈터 보틀링은 잔에서 옅은 황금빛을 낸다. 오래 숙성된 만큼 잘 익은 사과와 배, 꿀 향이 부드럽게 열린다. 52.4도의 도수에서 시트러스와 보리 단맛, 가벼운 오크가 입안을 또렷하게 채운다. 여운은 과수원 과일과 옅은 향신료로 길고 깔끔하게 남는다.
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
