Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 셰리와 버번을 반씩 채운 구성답게 잘 익은 바나나와 누가, 딸기의 단 향이 먼저 두드러진다. 아드모어 특유의 은은한 하이랜드 훈연이 과실 뒤에 또렷하게 드러나고, 팰럿에서는 46도가 마시멜로와 리치, 오크 스파이스를 밀어 올리며 복합미가 발전한다. 피니시는 길게 과실과 스파이스가 이어진다. 2021년 병입된 8년 캐든헤드 보틀링으로 과실과 훈연의 균형이 단단하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
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
