Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
하이랜드의 아드모어가 1997 빈티지를 호그스헤드에서 24년 길러 엘릭서 디스틸러스가 더 싱글 몰트 오브 스코틀랜드로 풀어낸 보틀링이다. 노즈에서는 아드모어 특유의 마른 풀과 가벼운 그을음, 옅은 꿀 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 팰럿에서는 곡물의 고소함과 절제된 피트가 중심을 잡고 익은 사과와 가벼운 후추가 윤곽을 그린다. 53.8퍼센트의 알코올이 무게를 더하며 구조감은 단단하다. 피니시는 가벼운 연기와 마른 곡물로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
the sherry is nicely discreet, and works quite well with that light Ardmore smokiness to create notes of tobacco leaf, ginger liqueur and slightly dusty old medicine cabinets. I also get some smoked teas and old furniture wax. Nothing at all cloying or disjointed so far. With water: the smoke is clearer now, a very nice wispy, dry and gentle peat note with a little mint leaf and camphor
restaurant Palate
we aren't left in doubt this is from the era when Ardmore was Ardmore, which is to say moderately peated somewhere between Springbank and Talisker, and distilled using direct coal firing - as opposed to steam and then filled into ex-Laphroaig barrels! Anyway, this is lovely. Lots of salted treacle, damp leaves, earthy black teas as well as lapsing souchong, crystallised citrus rinds and things like putty, mineral oil and strop leather. With water: nicely sooty, smoky, spicy and still with these nicely Ardmorish herbal peat and dry medicinal tones
timer Finish
medium length, a little tarry, a slightly bigger peat note and lovely dry smokiness in the after taste
