Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스셔 피틀로크리의 블레어 아솔은 벨스 블렌드의 바탕으로 쓰이며 진한 맥아 풍미를 지닌 하일랜드 증류소다. 1973년 증류해 21년을 보낸 이 오래된 보틀링은 깊은 호박빛을 띤다. 향에서는 잘 익은 과일과 맥아, 꿀이 그윽하게 올라오고 입에서는 46도가 보리의 고소한 단맛과 향신료를 부드럽게 채운다. 여운에는 토피와 오크의 향긋함이 길고 부드럽게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
typical old-style, sooty, gravelly, rather mentholated malt whisky, very dry, getting even ultra-grassy. Which, we agree, doesn’t sound very ‘old Blair Athol’. Cut cactus, fresh bark, leaves, Chinese Gunpowder green tea, touches of soy sauce, parsley, bouillons… It feels quite fat, and indeed bouillony, but remains very dry all along
restaurant Palate
dry and fat indeed, not unlike some thicker manzanilla or something. Bags of walnuts for sure, orange peel, leaves and teas, some plasticine, some kind of graphite oil, and a growing saltiness, totally unexpected. All the 46 degrees are well there, it’s quite heavy and strong
timer Finish
long, even saltier, with a feeling of having quaffed some salty vegetable bouillon
