Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 애버라워 마을의 맑은 샘물과 풍토가 이 증류소의 둥글고 풍성한 과일 향을 길러낸다. 버번 캐스크에서 채운 12년산은 맑은 황금빛을 머금는다. 코에는 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 바닐라 향이 곱게 피어오르고, 54.5도의 입에서는 보리 단맛과 시트러스, 은은한 향신료가 단단하게 균형을 이룬다. 따뜻한 과일과 오크의 잔향이 길고 부드럽게 여운으로 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
classic chocolaty and orangey Aberlour, I cannot not think of A’bunadh. Then a lot of honeydew as well (fir) and humus, which really lifts it. Sultanas, apricots, a little candied angelica, then pinewood, cedar wood (humidor), flowers (freesia, hyacinth)… A lovely, complex nose that just wouldn’t stop becoming more fragrant, not unlike the official 12 UCF. More and more sherry. With water: became very balsamic. A little sour wood, old wine barrel, just touches of raspberry vinegar…
restaurant Palate
excellent and unusually chartreuse-y. Heavy mint on sweet wine and capsicum, ginger, pastis, aniseed… A lot of fun in this one. With water: sweeter again, with raisins and figs. Strong honey, a little walnut
timer Finish
long, spicier. Barley sugar, caraway seeds, nutmeg. Rather drying aftertaste, with also bitter oranges and apples cooked with cinnamon
