Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
애버딘셔 고지대의 아드모어는 하이랜드에서 드물게 이탄을 때 부드러운 훈연을 몰트에 새긴다. 9년을 보낸 2008 빈티지는 은은한 금빛을 띤다. 코에는 시가 상자와 왁스, 플랑베한 바나나, 누가의 달콤함이 겹쳐 오른다. 46도의 입안은 딸기 사탕과 마시멜로, 석류 시럽처럼 화사한 과일이 앞서고, 십여 초 뒤에야 오크의 탄닌이 은근히 얹힌다. 여운은 절반은 과일, 절반은 오크의 향신료로 마무리된다.

air Nose
it’s quite fantastic to be able to try this after the 25 and the 1976, for it’s really the ‘natural’ evolution of them. The fruitiness got more complex and maybe a little less wham-bam whilst the spicy and resinous notes from the wood got bigger. Cigar box, old furniture, wax polish, pollen, bananas flambéed, nougat… In short, this is quite superb. Let’s only hope that the palate won’t be too woody and dry…
restaurant Palate
super, it’s not woody at all, rather extravagantly fruity, almost bubblegummy. Big notes of strawberry drops, marshmallows and grenadine syrup. Even hints of lychees and Chupa Chups lollipops. Rum-soaked pineapples. It’s only after a good ten seconds on your tongue that the oak’s tannins start to get more obvious but never invading
timer Finish
long, now half-fruity, half-oaky and spicy but never drying
