Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
깊은 황금빛이 잔 안에 부드럽게 비친다. 1978년 증류해 R.W. 더티가 담아낸 이 아드모어 13년은 피트를 쓰는 하이랜드 증류소다운 개성을 향에서부터 드러낸다. 옅은 헤더 연기와 꿀, 잘 익은 사과 향이 천천히 피어오른다. 입에서는 보리 단맛과 은은한 훈제, 가벼운 향신료가 매끄럽게 흐르고, 46도의 도수가 절제된 균형을 지킨다. 옛 스타일다운 단정한 피트가 단맛 사이로 또렷하다. 끝에는 연기와 꿀의 잔잔한 여운이 오래 머문다.

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
