Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 애벌라워 1998 빈티지가 21년 세컨드 필 셰리 벗에서 빚어낸 짙은 건자두와 광택 나는 가죽 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 디스틸러리 리저브 컬렉션답게 옅은 마른 호두 노트가 뒤이어 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿에서는 58.9도가 입천장을 천천히 덮으며 셰리 단맛, 까만 향신료, 잘 익은 무화과가 단단한 구조감으로 발전한다. 피니시는 광택 나는 오크 탄닌과 까만 베리가 길게 이어지며 애벌라워 셰리의 결이 또렷이 깃든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it's also a good option to keep your distillate as clean and naked as possible when it's first-class. Terrific apples, gooseberries, green pears, kiwis, greengages, white cherries, green bananas… However, it would never move towards easy Haribo-like notes. They know how to stand. With water: viognier. I'm sorry I'm mentioning wine pretty often, but either I write 'viognier', or I'll need to list dozens of aromas, starting with white pineapple, guava… No, enough!
restaurant Palate
superb, incredibly fruity, dead on target, with pears and grapefruits. Perfect with fruity desert, yes I speak from experience. With water: sure it's simple, even very simple, even very, very simple, but this immense fruitiness is irresistible
timer Finish
medium, ueber-fruity, with even a little varnish
