향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
노즈에서는 셰리 캐스크에서 12년을 보낸 아벨라워 아부나의 진한 건포도, 다크 초콜릿, 묵은 가죽 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 58.7도의 캐스크 스트렝스가 셰리 단맛을 한층 입체적으로 끌어올린다. 팰럿은 무화과 잼, 호두, 시나몬의 구조감이 입을 채우며 균형이 단단하게 잡힌다. 1987 빈티지 밀레니엄 보틀링답게 1999년에 병입된 정제된 캐릭터가 또렷이 드러난다. 피니시는 길게 이어지며 산화된 셰리 단맛과 묵은 오크의 쌉쌀함이 깊게 머문다.

air 아로마 (코)
starts really 'thick', rounded, just like a fruitcake. The balance seems to be perfect indeed. Huge notes of liqueur-filled chocolate, sultanas and prunes, reduced wine sauce, with a more than enjoyable meatiness (ham cooked with pineapple). Develops on cappuccino, chocolate cake just out of the oven, notes of armagnac, blackcurrant jelly... And also these whiffs of wood smoke. Goes on with quite some caramel, praline, black nougat, churros, brownies Gets then meatier (game) and also quite spicy (lots of cloves). Up to its reputation indeed, more complex than expected and, above all, extremely compact and satisfying. The blender who made this one deserves a medal
restaurant 맛 (팔레트)
punchy and powerful but perfectly drinkable at such high strength. Starts on lots of toffee and roasted peanuts as well as prunes again, Smyrna raisins, notes of arrak (date spirit), ripe red currants Probably simpler than on the nose (and frankly caramelly) but again, perfectly crafted. I don't know their recipe but it works, both the oak and the wine managing to stay just below the limits. No rubber, no excessive tannins, no overly jammy notes, no sourness... Very good indeed. Keeps developing on herbs (rosemary and thyme) plus rather funny notes of mentholated tobacco (Kool!) Simply very, very good
timer 피니시
long, fruity, 'cooked', on liqueur chocolate and prunes Excellent indeed. I'd really love to be able to taste one of these after 30+ years in its bottle. Let's be (very) patient 89 points . Aberlour 12 yo A'bunadh 'Sterling Silver' (58.7%, OB, 2000) This one was bottled to celebrate the millennium
