Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 아벨라워 특유의 잘 익은 사과와 꿀 향으로 또렷하게 열리고, 스코티시 오크 배럴 피니시에서 온 알싸한 향신료와 바닐라 향이 명확하게 뒤따른다. 흔치 않은 자국산 오크가 독특한 나무 결을 더한다. 팰럿은 60.2도의 높은 도수를 타고 흑설탕과 시트러스, 구운 오크의 단맛이 선명하게 밀려들며 11년 숙성이 단단한 깊이를 더한다. 피니시는 길게 이어지며 향신료와 꿀, 오크의 여운이 남는다. 캐스크 피니시 에디션으로, 구조감이 또렷하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
much more aromatic than the OB. Lots of caramel and fruit jam, with a nice freshness. Hints of sherry. Sure, it smells just like almost all the G&M Speysiders… Wait, now there’s some heavy notes of coconut developing (almost like Malibu)… Funny!
restaurant Palate
quite bold and satisfying, with some elegant oaky notes and quite a lot of spices (white pepper, nutmeg, clove). Orange marmalade, camomile, praline, sherry, dried coconut… Too bad it gets then rather drying and too woody, the finish being quite dusty and peppery. Anyway , a very good Connoisseur’s Choice, a good step above the general style of the series. 84 points . February 14 , 2005 MUSIC - Recommended listening: Memphis based blues guitarist and singer Paul Wood does Good Day 4 Bad Whiskey - mp3 . Bad whiskey but very good straight ahead blues! Please buy Paul Wood's music if you like it. CRAZY WHISKY ADS - 1934: WHITE HORSE ON BLIND TASTING Interesting to see that in the pre-WWII era, whisky was still considered as inferior to liqueurs, perhaps meaning brandies such as Cognac. It was only when tasted blind - litterally - that White Horse could get the favours of A+ people, it appears. Now, it still happens more than often that non-whisky people exclaim 'Oh! This tastes almost like a Cognac!' when having a sip of a good old Single Malt... Oh sorry, I know that drives many whisky freaks crazy...
