Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 시가 박스와 낡은 가구, 왁스 광택제 같은 우드 뉘앙스 위로 꽃가루와 플랑베한 바나나, 누가의 단내가 두드러진다. 팰럿은 46도치고 놀랍도록 과일지향적이어서 딸기 드롭스와 마시멜로, 석류 시럽에 럼에 절인 파인애플까지 발전한다. 오크 타닌은 뒤늦게 드러나되 결코 압도하지 않는다. 피니시는 길고 과일과 오크 스파이스가 반씩 균형을 잡는다. 세컨필 버번에서 10년을 보낸 아드모어의 밝은 면모다.

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
