Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔에 곱게 어린다. 1978년 증류된 노장 아드모어는 시가 박스와 왁스 광택, 바나나 플랑베의 향을 배경에 두고 잘 익은 열대 과일의 결을 화사하게 펼친다. 46도의 부드러운 도수는 입안에서 딸기 드롭스와 마시멜로, 라이치와 파인애플의 달콤함을 풍성하게 풀어놓는다. 오랜 세월이 스민 오크의 타닌은 뒤늦게 은근히 배어나고, 여운은 과일과 참나무의 조화 속에 길게 머문다.

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
