Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 퍼스트필 셰리 버트가 입힌 짙은 적갈색이 잔 벽에 끈적하게 맺힌다. 코끝으로 가져가면 아벨라워다운 건포도와 잘 익은 자두, 진한 흑설탕이 깊게 솟아오른다. 58.8도의 술을 한 모금 머금으면 다크초콜릿과 말린 대추, 매운 향신료가 혀를 진하게 채운다. 17년 1차 충전 셰리 숙성이 빚은 묵직한 단맛이 삼킨 뒤 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
typical mix of old walnuts, some wee metallic touches, cakes, some meaty/savoury notes, then the expected chocolate and coffee, plus pipe tobacco and marmalade, naturally. Really a classic that never disappoint. With water: I’m a very good reducer (yeah right), apparently, since it got much nicer and very chocolaty. Grated raw cocoa over miso soup and very old balsamico. Hope we’ll find umami on the palate
restaurant Palate
a little hot and rough, but A’bunadh ought to be rough. I’m finding a lot of ginger and sawdust, some sour spices, pencil shavings, raw un-destemmed marc (Bourgogne)… Frankly it’s rather too aggressive when neat, on the other hand that’s almost part of the brief, is it not. With water: fruitier but still with quite a lot of ginger and sweet berries. Kirsch. A little dichotomous, the nose was much different, more on classic oloroso
timer Finish
rather long, with some leather. Bay leaves. Not always a huge fan of this kind of unfolding
