Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에 옅은 장밋빛 황금색이 어린다. 하이랜드의 애버펠디가 18년을 보낸 뒤 토스카나 볼게리 레드 와인 캐스크에서 마무리되며 붉은 베리와 잘 익은 자두, 꿀의 향을 끌어올린다. 이탈리아 와인 캐스크가 더한 새콤한 과일과 옅은 타닌의 결이 향에 깃든다. 43도의 도수에 질감은 부드럽고 둥글게 흐르며, 붉은 과일과 애버펠디 특유의 꿀 단맛이 혀를 감싼다. 꿀로 이름난 증류소의 결이 와인의 산미와 우아하게 어우러진다. 여운에는 베리와 꿀, 마른 오크의 향이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
apricot
air Nose
ah, no dissonances, really? No invasive raspberries? No lousy strawberry jam? No unbridled cassis? Indeed, rather cherries (but not quite à la pinot noir) and, first and foremost, tons of honeyed pastries. We're in a pastry shop in Istanbul or anywhere in Maghreb, with all those stunning wee things made out of almonds, pistachios, orange blossom water, dates, pine nuts and yeah, honey. Give me a break, I'm so hungry now (well done, S.)
restaurant Palate
feels stronger than just 43, more mineral and leafy and leathery and grassy, and certainly less fruity. All the leaves, buds and stems are coming out, while the whole would get mush bitterer now. Where's the fruitiness? Now there are notes of bitter oranges and green pepper indeed, and a sourness that's not unseen in wine finishings. We're far from the nose's elegance I'm afraid
timer Finish
medium, a little sour, bitter and sweet at the same time. A tad indistinct
