Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
깊은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 진하게 일렁인다. 2006년 아벨라워가 리무쟁 오크에서 마무리한 이 증류소 한정판은 마른 과일과 구운 오크, 정향의 향을 끌어올린다. 58.7도의 강한 힘이 입안을 가득 채우며 건포도와 토피, 매콤한 향신료가 또렷이 일어선다. 프랑스산 오크가 남긴 달고 매운 단맛이 깊고 긴 여운 속에 잠긴다.
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
