Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 레드 와인 캐스크에서 온 붉은 베리와 자두, 가벼운 향신료가 먼저 두드러진다. 블레어 아솔 11년산은 증류소에서 직접 손으로 채운 익스클루시브 보틀링으로, 56.2도의 도수에서 와인 캐스크의 단맛과 묵직한 질감이 또렷하게 맞물린다. 팰럿은 잘 익은 베리와 다크 초콜릿, 가벼운 탄닌이 단단한 구조감을 이룬다. 피니시는 붉은 과일과 오크의 떫음을 길게 남기며 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
starts all on sweet and sour fruits as well as quite some flints and coal smoke, which is unusual with Blair Athol in my experience. Must come from the wood. It’s also a tad butyric at times but other than that, the very malty profile is much enjoyable. Also whiffs of patchouli and orange blossom, flor (yellow wine), maybe honeysuckle. With water: doesn’t change much. Maybe a little more leather
restaurant Palate
punchy butter cream, vanilla and snuff tobacco, how unusual! It’s a little prickly and fizzy (Schweppes?), quite waxy, with also notes of stewed oranges and litres of corn syrup. Some walnuts as well… As if it was a 50/50 vatting of first fill bourbon and fino sherry – or something like that. What’s sure is that it’s unlike any other malts, including other Blair Athols. With water: becomes kind of cleaner but there’s also more ginger from the oak as well as touches of cloves and pepper. Swims well
timer Finish
long, sweet and spicy, with some Seville oranges and pepper
