Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 애버펠디의 붉은 기 도는 호박빛이 잔 벽을 타고 흐른다. 코를 가까이 대면 보르도 샤토 라피트 와인 캐스크가 입힌 붉은 베리와 자두, 옅은 향신료 위로 이 증류소 특유의 꿀 향이 솟아오른다. 56.1도의 한 모금을 머금으면 16년 숙성이 다듬은 꿀 같은 단맛과 와인의 떫은 타닌, 다크 체리가 또렷하게 번진다. 삼키고 나면 무르익은 붉은 과일과 가벼운 오크가 입천장에 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
cocoa, soot and ashes, this is very different. It’s actually immensely chocolaty and it’s only after a good fifteen seconds that stewed fruits and prunes and blackberry jam start to show up. Also something frankly metallic, in a good way. Old tin boxes full of chocolate-coated prunes. With water (while it became as opaque as milk): spicy raisins, ginger and crystallised oranges everywhere
restaurant Palate
very spicy, rich, coating, extractive and kind of oriental. Sweet curry, ginger sauce, gingerbread, raisins, honey and mustard sauce… I’m sorry if that sounds unlikely, because it’s not. This works! Probably some very active oak involved. With water: same profile, just easier and maybe fruitier. A lot of bergamots and kumquats
timer Finish
long, fruity and spicy. Oranges. Reminds me of some Christmas Stolle or of some artisan Panettone. Love that
