Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 에드라두어의 피트 버전인 밸러킨답게 살구와 은은한 페놀 향이 함께 피어오른다. 코를 더 가까이 가져가면 마지팬과 누가의 달큰함이 뒤따른다. 셰리와 버번 캐스크를 섞은 이 2009년 8년산을 한 모금 머금으면 파인애플과 레몬 마멀레이드, 잘 익은 바나나가 차례로 번진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 살짝 채소 같은 향신료와 옅은 소금기가 입천장에 남아 맴돈다.
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
