Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 17년 숙성의 아벨라워가 퍼스트필 셰리 호그스헤드에서 발전한 짙은 셰리 임팩트가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 디스틸러리 싱글 카스크답게 건자두와 무화과 잼, 가죽 노트가 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿에서는 54.8도의 카스크 스트렝스가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고, 다크 베리와 시나몬, 호두가 균형 있게 발전한다. 피니시는 셰리의 단맛과 오크 탄닌이 길게 이어지며 구조감이 단단하다.
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
