Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 아드모어 특유의 캠프파이어 같은 피트가 또렷이 두드러지는데, 해안이 아닌 풀과 과일나무를 태우는 결에 가깝다. 라프로익을 담았던 배럴에서 8년을 보낸 2008 빈티지답게 멜론과 복숭아, 바닐라가 뒤따른다. 46도의 팰럿은 다소 가볍고 얇지만 깨끗해, 허브 피트와 복숭아, 생강이 층을 이룬다. 훈연과 과일의 조화가 명확하게 드러난다. 피니시는 길지 않아도 정갈하며 훈제 복숭아의 여운이 또렷이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
this is a very particular peat that comes out loud and clear. We’re far from coastal peat, seaweed, hospitals or fishermen’s boats, we’re rather sitting around a campfire where someone is burning both grass and fruit tree wood. On top of that, the same kinds of melons and peaches that we had found in Ardlair, some vanilla and, maybe, a wee touch of antiseptic that I hadn’t found in the arrival. Nice freshness
restaurant Palate
I think they improved the recipe. It’s no big whisky, the mouth feel is even a little light and thin, but it’s all beautifully clean. Lovely herbal peat, peaches, a touch of chardonnay, a little ginger, some vanilla but not too much… So all fine
timer Finish
not extremely long but still clean and fruity. Smoked peaches?
