Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아메리칸과 유러피언 오크에서 숙성한 뒤 퍼스트필 PX와 올로로소 셰리로 마무리한 시간이 애버라워 18년의 풍미를 한층 풍성하게 끌어올린다. 코에는 말린 자두와 꿀, 오렌지 껍질이 부드럽게 겹친다. 입에서는 건포도와 토피의 단맛이 진한 질감으로 흐르고, 43도의 둥근 힘이 가벼운 향신료를 감싼다. 짙은 호박빛의 이 보틀링은 말린 과일과 흑설탕, 오크의 여운을 길고 우아하게 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
rich gold
air Nose
starts with some caramel and some toffee, jumps to Nutella (I know), swims towards maple syrup and molasses honey, reaches sultanas and dried figs (magnificent here), goes on with a little orange squash, or even Fanta (not that nice I'm afraid), and ends the journey amongst roasted and honeyed peanuts and pecans. Plus Ovaltine/Ovomaltine. An ultra-classic, very reassuring nose
restaurant Palate
very good for sure, nuttier than the neighbours, a tad grittier as well (walnut skins), then totally geared towards honey, rhum agricole, toffee, marmalade and maple syrup
timer Finish
medium to short, more on dried fruits and milk chocolate. More honey-glazed roasted peanuts (we call them chouchous) and Cointreau
