A Paradise Known Only to Those in the Know 아는 사람들만의 파라다이스

Exceptional 91 /100

At first, it’s shy and fragrant,
then gradually transforms into a deep, rich, and spicy floral scent.
If Remi has a complex and intense aroma,
Hadi offers a delicate yet distinctive, exhilarating scent.
This flask isn’t sold separately; it comes as part of the original 700ml set.
At under $130, it’s definitely worth buying.

Original review:

처음은 수줍은 듯 향긋하고
점점 깊고 진한 스파이시한 꽃향으로 바뀜
레미가 복잡하고 강렬한 향이라면
하디는 섬세하면서도 개성적인 짜릿함을 간직한 향
이 플라스크만 따로 판매하지는 않고 원래 700ml의 구성품으로 딸려오는 것임
130달러 이하 수준이면 구매 가치 충분함

Tasting

Nose

What aromas do you get when you sniff the Cognac? Do you get hints of fruits or flowers - perhaps it's sweet? Is it intense or rather flat - and most importantly, is the nose coherent to taste and finish? The nose is the most important part when tasting Cognac.

23/25

Mouth

A small sip: Allow your taste buds in the various areas of your mouth to distinguish the different flavours. This part of cognac tasting is described as ‘the palate’. Don’t just swallow it down; allow the liquid to touch all the regions of the mouth. Doing this is necessary as the taste buds pick up contrasting flavours in the different areas of the mouth; on the tip of your tongue to the sides, for example. Take a tiny sip to prep your palate for the sensory experience to come. Take a second larger sip, and gently roll the cognac around, etting it come into contact with every corner of your mouth. Focus on the perceived textural sensations. Are the sensations round and rich or fresh and elegant? Is the overall mouthfeel intense, balanced, disjointed, or lacking presence? In short, how does the cognac feel in your mouth?

18/20

Taste

Quite simply, what do you taste as you gently roll the cognac around in your mouth? Pay close attention to any flavors of fruits, flowers, oak, and spices - or a complex combination of those elements. Are the flavors cohesive with the Nose and the Mouth, giving a sense of balance and complexity?

23/25

Finish

The ‘finish’ is the experience you get after you’ve swallowed the cognac. What flavours can you detect? Is it a flat or rough finish and rather sharp, or is it a slight 'punch' you like? How long does the finish last? Also think about overall balance: How does the finish compare to nose and taste?

18/20

Overall Impression

Consider the Nose, Mouth, Taste, and Finish simultaneously - the cognac as a whole. Is there cohesion between the four categories, or does the cognac shine in some areas and appear dull in others? Quite simply, is the memory from the tasting experience one that will last your lifetime; is the memory good but nothing extraordinary; or is the cognac’s impact entirely forgettable?
