Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
어두운 밀짚빛이 잔에 고요히 담겨 있다. 문 임포트가 더 버즈 컬렉션으로 내놓은 이 1965년 셰리 우드 숙성 원액은 무엇보다 이탄의 연기가 앞장선다. 향은 복잡함을 자랑하기보다 곧게 뻗어 짙은 연기와 구운 곡물, 사과 주스의 산미로 정리된다. 46도의 입안은 대담하고 힘이 있으며 이탄의 재와 셰리가 준 단맛이 정면으로 부딪친다. 화려한 층을 쌓지는 않지만 그만큼 성격이 분명하고 여운에는 연기와 단맛이 나란히 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark straw
air Nose
very peaty but rather simple. Lots of smoke but also lots of grainy notes. Notes of apple juice. Quite nice but lacking complexity
restaurant Palate
bold and extremely powerful, extremely peaty and extremely sweet. But again, not extremely complex. A bit too sweet for my tastes, in fact. I think Ardbeg needs more ageing. Now, it’s not bad at all, of course: 82 points (but I know some other Maniacs who rated it up to 93 points) CRAZY CANADIANS - Fellow malt maniac Davin de Kergommeaux, from Ottawa, reports: " It is known here that you can buy a recently emptied whisky barrel to use as a rain barrel or whatever, but if you add a bit of water, seal it up and then roll it around you can extract a lot of whisky from the wood and make a type of home-made hooch called "Swish". I know the barrels at the garden centres often smell very much like whisky and they are often very charred inside which would provide a lot more places for the whisky to soak into the wood (...) But I have never actually done this myself, so maybe it's just an urban legend... " Well, according to Mile High Distilling from Colorado, Swish does exist as they are selling various 'essences' that will help you convert your 'swish' into either Bourbon, or into a famous 'red label' whisky, or even, yes, into a more 'classic Canadian whiskey'. MUSIC – Recommended listening: French and German DJ's Miss Kittin (photo) and Sven Väth do Serge Gainsbourg's scandalous Je vais et je viens.mp3 ... Thirty five years later, the technique seams to be as popular as ever! Please buy their music if you're into that kind of stuff... or fly to Ibiza this summer!
