Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 서부 하이랜드 아드나무르칸 특유의 옅은 훈연과 갯내음이 먼저 인사한다. 잔을 흔들어 향을 깨우면 퍼스트필 버번 캐스크가 남긴 바닐라와 보리, 잘 익은 배 향이 모닥불 연기 사이로 피어오른다. 53.2도의 한 모금을 혀에 올리면 다섯 해의 어린 숙성이 무색하게 깨끗한 몰트 단맛 위로 후추와 그을음이 또렷하게 번진다. 천천히 삼키면 훈연과 미네랄이 뒤섞여 입안 깊이 내려앉는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it may be the 'large batch' effect here, but I find this one a little less defined and globally a little drier. Still a lot of focus on breads and beers but without so much honeyed richness. Flower stems, grassy olive oil, some juniper and hops. With water: apple pips and cider apple funkiness with lanolin and citrus teas
restaurant Palate
ok, here the sweetness arrives loud and clear, that wonderful Ardnamurchan 'honeyed' quality that seems to straddle many of their bottlings. Also a feeling of some peat in the mix, tea tree oil, aniseed, hints of antiseptic and herbal mouthwash. Then more familiar pollens and beers. With water: fatter, waxier, more beers, citrus oils, spiced marmalade and a little camphor
timer Finish
medium, some slight but warming oak spiciness, pumpernickel, heather ales, herbal teas and mead
