Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 아드모어 특유의 가벼운 피트 연기와 보리 단맛이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 1965년 증류해 18년을 보낸 옛 보틀링답게 향은 절제되면서도 복합적으로 발전한다. 팰럿은 훈제 향과 꿀, 가벼운 시트러스가 46도의 균형 잡힌 질감 위에 전개된다. 동부 하이랜드 증류소다운 부드러운 토탄 캐릭터가 또렷이 드러난다. 피니시는 그을음과 몰트 단맛이 길게 이어지며 구조가 단단하다.

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
