Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
피틀로크리 산자락의 작은 에드라두어가 피트를 입혀 빚은 발레친이다. 버번과 올로로소 셰리를 거친 10년산은 잔에서 맑은 금빛을 낸다. 살구와 잘 익은 바나나, 모과의 향에 카모마일과 마지팬, 누가의 달콤함이 페놀과 어우러진다. 46도의 도수로 입안에서는 파인애플 사탕과 레몬 마멀레이드, 플람베한 바나나의 단맛에 꿀이 더해진다. 마무리는 길고 풀내음과 향신료, 옅은 소금기가 천천히 사그라든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it has troubles talking at this very high strength, let’s add water right away (but it seems that there are nice notes of apricots). With water: listen, I’d love to bash this crazy wine finishing (and god knows Yquem is great wine) but contrarily to ‘Tokaj’ versions that were really too much, this is very, very enjoyable. Not sweetish at all, rather balanced, kind of phenolic, superbly fruity, on apricots, ripe bananas, quinces and herbal tea (camomile) and then marzipan and nougat. Works very well (I’m afraid)
restaurant Palate
punchy, sweet and fruity, all on pineapple drops and hot lemon marmalade. Very hot! With water: Edradour’s slightly ‘tricky’ character shines through for a short while but then it’s all bananas flambéed, tinned pineapples, brioche and apricot pie, with also quite some honey
timer Finish
long, a little more vegetal and spicy now, as well as a little salty
