Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
페드로 히메네스 셰리 피니시가 27년 동안 숙성된 1992년 알트아베인 원액에 짙은 자국을 마지막으로 남겼다. 향에서는 건포도 시럽과 옅은 가죽, 무화과 졸임이 차례로 일어나고 입에서는 흑설탕과 다크초콜릿, 향긋한 정향이 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 49.2도라는 도수가 27년 세월에 다듬어진 결과답게 거칠지 않게 풀려나오며 짙은 마호가니빛이 잔에 깊이 머문 채 단 향신료가 길다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
Di’esch ganz guett denk ich, mett exact bluema ond… Oh excuse me, we are not in Switzerland are we, how very sad… but this nose is quite astonishing, subtle, complex, on those fantastic beehive-y aromas that well-behaved wood (not a new hoggie seasoned with cheap PX, mind you) would generate. Lighter honeys (acacia), nougat, hay, crushed hazelnuts, artisanal sunflower oil, Läckerli (not quite but we’re trying put a brave face on it, you understand…) and, drumroll… beeswax! Wunderbar
restaurant Palate
what? Allt-A-Bhainne? This is an ode to time and its impact on whisky. This reminds you that malt whisky = barley, water, yeast, wood and TIME. Overripe apples, waxes, blood oranges, marzipan, touches of ginger, some chutneys, and a rather marvellous pepper, bordering Thainess. Thai basil, Himalaya pepper, lime…
timer Finish
rather long, with some wonderfully fresh peppery notes. Really very ‘Thai’ (Thai cuisine, another thing that I just idolise). And guess what’s coming in the aftertaste? Butterscotch!
