Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
세월이 바랜 듯한 옅은 황금빛이 잔 속에 맑게 잠겨 있다. 1969년 증류된 아일라의 쿼일라답게 향에서는 은은한 바다 내음과 잔잔한 훈연, 레몬 껍질이 부드럽게 비친다. 40도의 낮은 도수 덕에 입에서는 백후추와 소금기, 옅은 피트가 가볍고 정갈하게 흐른다. 오래된 아일라 몰트 특유의 차분한 연기가 마른 여운으로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
cognac/tobacco
air Nose
very sherried attack. Some wax and some rancio, plus lots of burnt rubber and alcohol and hints of orange marmalade– but there isn’t too much of Ardbeg’s usual smoke… Lots of roasted coffee beans too. Let’s try the
restaurant Palate
big attack, very peppery. Cooked apple, compote, clove, orange marmalade. Bold and compact, but not overly complex. Long, bold finish. Not the best ‘Feis Isle’ Ardbeg (ah, the 2002!) but a very nice Ardbeg, for sure. 88 points . CHRISTMAS WHISKY ADS - left: Dewar's, 1932 - ' Some Christmas, eh? ' Funny to see that the maid is so happy about the fact that her 'masters' will get flat drunk with this full case of whisky for Christmas! Right: Teacher's, 1937 - ' It's the flavour'. At that time, whisky was to be offered to your best buddies, because it's so good. In other words, keep it simple and stupid: tell the truth... And oh, about Teacher's... ... I've seen this funny wall calendar in Italy a few weeks ago. I guess it dates from the early 1970s or so... Cool, eh? You just can't spend all your time with your best buddies, can you? Yes, the masses must be educated. December 20, 2004 TASTING – HEAD TO HEAD, TWO 15 yo ‘OLD’ CAOL ILAS Caol Ila 15 yo 1969 (40%, G&M Connoisseur’s Choice)
