Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 눈높이로 들어 가볍게 돌리면 하이랜드 에드라두어가 발레친이라는 이름으로 셰리와 버번 캐스크에서 8년을 지낸 밝은 금빛이 유리를 타고 흐른다. 코끝을 잔에 담그면 피트 처리한 발레친다운 살구와 잘 익은 바나나, 마지팬 향이 올라온다. 한 모금이 혀에 닿으면 46도의 도수가 파인애플과 레몬 마멀레이드, 꿀의 단맛과 옅은 훈연으로 퍼진다. 삼키고 나면 브리오슈와 스파이스, 짭조름한 풍미가 남는다.
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
