Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
세컨필 아몬티야도 셰리 캐스크가 블레어 아톨의 13년에 은은한 꽃과 과실을 입혔다. 캐스크가 빚어낸 들장미차와 작약, 딸기 케이크와 무화과, 파네토네의 향이 코끝에서 화사하게 피어오른다. 50도의 도수는 입안에서 건포도 빵과 정향, 생강에일과 오렌지 껍질의 풍미를 부드럽게 흐르게 하며 블레어 아톨 특유의 몰트가 중심을 잡는다. 살구빛이 감도는 로제 같은 색과 함께 오렌지 와인의 균형 잡힌 여운이 중간 길이로 남는다.
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
