Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 발레친다운 이탄 연기와 살짝 가죽 같은 개성으로 문을 열고, 밤꿀과 훈제 햄, 옅은 장뇌가 명확하게 드러난다. 올로로소 셰리와 피트가 맞물린 부싯돌 뉘앙스가 인상적이다. 팰럿은 마롱글라세와 오렌지 케이크, 마멀레이드에 가죽과 카다멈이 더해지며 크리미하게 발전한다. 에드라두어 증류소의 12년 피티드 몰트답게 개성이 뚜렷하다. 피니시는 길고 잼처럼 이어지며 초콜릿을 입힌 오렌지 껍질의 끝맛이 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
