Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 레드 와인 캐스크가 물들인 살구빛 로제 톤이 잔 벽을 타고 흐른다. 코끝에 가져가면 들장미차와 작약 같은 꽃향 위로 딸기 케이크와 무화과, 파네토네의 달콤한 향이 겹쳐 올라온다. 50.5도의 블레어 아톨을 한 모금 머금으면 건포도 빵과 정향, 으깬 후추, 오렌지 껍질이 혀 위에서 넓게 퍼진다. 삼키면 오렌지 와인을 닮은 균형 잡힌 단맛이 뒤따르며 하이랜드 원주의 몰트가 또렷이 깃든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
an apricotty tinge (almost rosé wine, really), so probably ex-Port or red wine. Perhaps even Ukrainian red, you never know…
air Nose
moderately aromatic malts, such as Blair Athol, are often the best choices if your aim in life, as a whisky bottler, is to use red wine. Well, that's my opinion. Rather a lot of rosehip tea, with whiffs of peonies and geranium flowers. Always insist on 'flowers' because leaves and stems rather smell badly, in my opinion – well, they are recorded flaws in wine. Then strawberry cake, fruit bread, figs and panettone. With water: geared towards brioches, more strawberry cake, grist and raw barley… The vinous touches are almost gone, a little surprisingly
restaurant Palate
all cool, good, fruity and malty, with rather less vinosity than on the nose. Raisin bread and cake, some cracked pepper, drop of ginger ale, quite a lot of cloves, a little orange peel… With water: once again, it became a straighter Blair Athol, with an excellent maltiness
timer Finish
medium and really well-balanced. Orange wine
