Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 아벨라워 1995가 버번 호그스헤드의 영향으로 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 바닐라의 향을 또렷하게 드러낸다. 19년의 숙성이 스페이사이드다운 부드러운 결을 더한다. 입에서는 토피와 시트러스, 가벼운 향신료가 60.2도의 높은 도수를 타고 강하게 발전하며 묵직한 질감이 입을 채운다. 버번 캐스크다운 또렷한 바닐라와 단단한 구조감이 돋보이며, 피니시는 몰트의 단맛과 오크의 따뜻함이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
very fresh but extremely aromatic, although a little milky and yeasty. Huge notes of overripe apples, with an unusual sourness. Lots of aniseed, fennel… And we have the oak and, indeed a rather bold ‘toastiness’, caramel, vanilla custard… Also violets. Quite different from most Aberlours we know, including the ones that used to mature in bourbon wood. Almost as aromatic as a grappa! (I’ll spare you useless jokes about grappa/Italy – lucky you.)
restaurant Palate
very sweet and hugely fruity (but simply so, mostly on apples and pears), with quite some tannins after that, pepper, cinnamon, vanilla. You can really get plain wood, almost like in some ‘new’ oaked Chardonnays. The whole is pretty simple
timer Finish
not too long, but vanilled and still quite oaky. Okay, not a total wood bomb but… 78 points . Aberlour A’bunadh batch #13 (59.8%, OB, 2004)
