Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들어 향을 열면 짙은 호박빛이 벽을 타고 진하게 흐른다. 코끝으로 가져가면 아벨라워 특유의 진한 캐러멜 위로 조린 블랙커런트와 키르슈, 옅은 새콤함이 겹쳐 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 59.1도의 힘이 토피와 민트, 감초를 혀 위로 밀어내며 마른 타닌이 뒤따른다. 삼킨 뒤에는 후추와 마른 참나무의 떫은 결이 남아 1995년 11년 더글러스 레잉 보틀링의 강건한 성격을 또렷이 전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
hot, very caramelly and markedly vinous (lots of cooked blackcurrant, kirsch), a little sourish, getting even a little acetic after a while. With water: now it got much more on mint and liquorice, with also a little varnish and newly sawn wood. The sourness and vinosity got less dominating. It’s much nicer with water!
restaurant Palate
bold and powerful but bearable. Lots of toffee but again this sourness. Not unpleasant I must say but it gets also a little rubbery and slightly drying. With water: better again, although the rubber’s still here. Also sweeter… But the tannins get really bold after a moment, and so does the pepper
timer Finish
rather long, toffeish, with still that faint rubbery notes. Still very good but certainly not the nicest batch of A’bunadh I could try in my opinion. 83 points . Aberlour A’bunadh batch #16 (59.6%, OB, 2005)
