Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 블레어 아솔의 짙은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 두껍게 적시며 흐른다. 코를 가까이 대면 셰리 캐스크가 입힌 건포도와 말린 자두, 흑설탕 향이 진하게 솟아오른다. 58.5도의 한 모금을 머금으면 9년 숙성에도 셰리 통이 내준 끈끈한 단맛과 묵직한 몰트, 볶은 견과가 두껍게 입을 채운다. 삼키고 나면 다크 초콜릿과 옅은 가죽의 풍미가 입천장을 덮으며 천천히 사그라든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
chalk and croissants, that's what I'm getting at full strength. A touch of wood varnish, perhaps. With water: some butter cream coming through. Some hay too, which I find very 'Blair Athol'. Reminiscent of those old official bottles, you would have had Dufftown (red label) and Blair Athol (blue label). Does that ring a bell?
restaurant Palate
very good young sweet barley-y and cake-y malt, with some orange and bananas jam in the background. Simple pleasures, bottled. With water: excellent. Apple cake, orange cake, banana cake, toasts if we must…
timer Finish
medium, kind of oily, on those various cakes. Which, I insist, is very Blair Athol
