Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스셔 피틀로크리의 블레어 아솔은 맑은 산골 물로 묵직하고 단단한 원액을 빚는 하이랜드 증류소다. 13년을 보낸 핸드필 보틀링으로, 56.2도의 도수에 윤기 있는 호박빛을 띤다. 향은 익은 과일과 꿀, 묵직한 향신료가 또렷이 깃들고 입에서는 건포도와 캐러멜, 고소한 견과가 진하게 번진다. 하이랜드 특유의 두껍고 단단한 질감이 따뜻하고 긴 여운으로 이어진다.
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
