Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아메리칸과 유러피언 오크에서 18년을 보낸 뒤 퍼스트필 PX와 올로로소로 마무리한 더블 셰리 피니시가, 아벨라워에 풍성한 단맛을 더했다. 코에서는 건포도와 다크초콜릿, 오렌지 껍질이 부드럽게 올라온다. 입에서는 43도의 편안한 도수 위로 토피와 말린 과일, 계피가 둥글게 혀를 감싼다. 색은 진한 호박빛이고, 여운은 셰리의 달콤함과 오크의 쌉싸름함이 잔잔히 이어진다.
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
