Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스셔 피틀로크리의 작은 골짜기에 자리한 에드라두어는 발레힌이라는 이름으로 피트를 입힌 원액을 내놓는다. 퍼스트필 버번 배럴에서 13년을 보낸 이 위스키는 잔에 맑은 골드빛을 담는다. 46도로 병입돼 향은 살구와 잘 익은 바나나, 마지팬의 달큼함이 페놀릭한 연기와 어우러진다. 입에 넣으면 파인애플 드롭스와 따뜻한 레몬 마멀레이드가 달고 진하게 번지고, 꿀이 뒤를 받친다. 여운은 길게 이어지며 풀내음과 옅은 짠맛, 향신료가 마지막을 장식한다.
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
