Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 캐스크에서 18년을 보낸 시간이 200주년 기념 블레어 아솔의 성격을 온전히 지배한다. 최고급 셰리가 빚어낸 세비야 오렌지와 마지팬, 시가 박스의 향이 깊고 두껍게 번진다. 56.7퍼센트의 도수는 입안에서 무화과와 대추, 리큐어 초콜릿, 에스프레소를 묵직하게 밀어 올린다. 진한 호박빛과 함께 초콜릿 가득한 여운이 길고 우아하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
a sherry of very high quality! Big whiffs of squeezed Seville oranges and marzipan, then more woody tones including cigar box, ‘nice’ varnish and old walnuts. Goes on on liquor-soaked cherries (make that guignolet – or wild cherry liqueur) and caramelised poached pears, with finally a little milk chocolate and cappuccino. Oh, and hints of fried Swiss cheese (or comté) – not gym socks, min you! Pretty perfect!
restaurant Palate
excellent attack, smooth but firm, on, well, Irish coffee. A lot of figs, quinces and dates, then liqueur-filled chocolate, plum jam, chestnut purée, then more chocolate (dark this time), espresso… Gets bigger and bigger, and beautifully drier. Excellent whisky with a long and very entertaining development
timer Finish
medium-long but fabulously chocolaty
