Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
하이랜드 동부 케네스몬트의 보리밭과 미세하게 피트한 아드모어 전통이 호그스헤드 안에서 21년을 다듬었다. 잔에는 짙은 황금빛이 머물러 있다. 코끝에는 미세한 피트 연기와 바닐라, 사과 껍질의 향이 두드러진다. 입에서는 보리 단맛 위에 가벼운 훈연과 토피, 시트러스가 부드럽게 어우러진다. 1998 아드모어 빈티지의 51.8도 강도가 긴 흙내 피트 여운으로 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
this one’s really very vertical, a tad metallic (tin box) and pretty mineral (the usual chalk), with rather some cider apples and green lemons at the fruit department. Lovely coal smoke. With water: clay and soot, I would say. Old copper kettle
restaurant Palate
dense and precise, sharp, very chalky and lime-y, with again this spiky pepper that tends to be willing to take over. Another one that reminds me a bit of Talisker – minus the coastalness. A little bread dough too. With water: always quite some pepper, grapefruit skin, these touches of chilli once again, green pepper… But it’s not as extreme as others in that respect
timer Finish
rather long and pretty salty this time. Tinned anchovies? Neat, clean, coastal, this one could really be Talisker at this point. Well, let’s say the nearest malt would be Talisker
