Burning bramble bush /
イバラの茂みが燃えている

[ノーズ]スモーキーなアーモンドフランジパンの入った黄金色のナシのタルト。一方で、とても軽やかなハーブ香、蝋、タール香。 [パレット]空に届きそうな勢いのイバラの茂みが燃えているスモーキーさ。加水するとシナモン味のガムの香り、クレオソート、タイム、ローストした胡桃、漁師の縄。豪勢なヨットでスモーキーピニャコラーダを楽しんでいる感じ。 The nose neat was like a shortcrust pastry pear tart with a smoky almond frangipane filling, baked to a golden brown colour (that's the tart, not the whisky!) alongside some ever so lightly herbal, waxy and tarry notes – in fact very clean overall. The taste neat was like a burning bramble bush with plenty of smoke and the flames seeming to touch the sky. When we added water aromas of Big Red (cinnamon-flavoured chewing gum), creosote, thyme roasted walnuts and fisherman’s rope appeared whilst on the palate; a smoked Pina Colada enjoyed on the teak deck of a luxury yacht.
