Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
피틀로크리의 작은 증류소 에드라두어가 빚는 발레친은 이탄으로 훈연한 개성 강한 몰트다. 버번 캐스크에서 12년을 보낸 이 2005년 원액은 진한 금빛을 띠고, 밤꿀과 훈제한 햄, 부싯돌과 화약을 연상시키는 향이 독특하게 얽혀 있다. 46도의 입안은 마롱글라세와 오렌지 케이크, 마멀레이드에 가죽 향이 스미며 크리미하게 흐르고, 마무리에는 오렌지 껍질을 입힌 초콜릿의 단맛이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
sometimes some Edradours are difficult because of their, say unusual profile, but sometimes that profile can be an asset, especially when it’s not too obvious. Yes, talking about that kind of soapiness that, in fact, isn’t really soapy, rather ‘bizarrely leathery’ if you see what I mean. Anyway, it’s well here in this Caledonia but blended with several very nice aromas such as chestnut honey, cured ham (Jabugo, really) and just touches of camphor that go very well with the whole. Also some flinty notes and just wee whiffs of gunpowder
restaurant Palate
I think this one’s got all the good sides of Edradour. Marrons glacés, orange cake, marmalade, some leather and chlorophyll (gums), hints of kummel and cardamom, grapefruits… Nice profile, probably cleaner than usual. Liquorice allsorts. Pleasant, creamy mouth feel
timer Finish
rather long, coating, a tad jammier now. Chocolate-dipped orange zests
