Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 달모어 특유의 오렌지 마멀레이드와 바닐라, 가벼운 초콜릿 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 알바 임포트가 2007년 빈티지를 18년간 버번 호그스헤드에서 숙성한 이 위스키는 46도에서 향이 둥글고 깊게 발전한다. 팰럿은 오렌지 껍질과 토피, 구운 견과가 주도하며 오크의 바닐라가 받친다. 피니시는 마멀레이드와 마른 오크가 길게 이어지고, 하이랜드 명가다운 매끄러운 구조감이 단단하게 잡힌 18년 몰트다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
no Port that I can detect at first nosing and to be frank, that’s very good news. In fact, it’s closer to some Sauternes finishing such as Glenmo’s. A lot of juicy ripe apricots and oranges, then more honey and pollen, touches of quinces… And bags of ripe peaches. Wasn’t it white Port? It’s a very pleasing nose, fresh and fruity, with good presence. After a few minutes: more oak, old wine cellar, a faint mustiness (and humus) and quite some white chocolate. Slightly mushroomy
restaurant Palate
less smooth and rounded than on the nose, with rather more oak and leather. Bitter chocolate, pepper, cloves (a lot), gingerbread… Orange liqueur as well, tea… And marmalade. Again, very little red wine here apart from some tannins, but that’s more the wood I guess. After a few minutes: touches of black cherries and blackberries (ah, the Port!)
timer Finish
medium long, with more red wine this time but we’re rather closer to pinot noir than to touriga in my opinion
