Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 북동 해안에 새로 들어선 아드나호 증류소의 첫 공식 릴리스다. 엑스버번과 엑스올로로소 셰리 캐스크에서 5년을 보낸 어린 위스키로 옅은 호박빛을 띤다. 아일라의 짠 바닷바람을 담은 코에서는 토탄 연기와 레몬, 옅은 말린 과실이 어우러진다. 입에서는 그을린 피트와 꿀, 후추가 흐르고 50도가 균형을 잡는다. 여운은 짭조름한 훈연과 옅은 단맛이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
but of course. Ardnahoe has been remarkably quick to express its Islayness (aye?) and to make sure its whisky oozes (aye again?) the island. Very fresh, with a nod to its neighbour across from the Paps of Jura, offering peated grist, virgin wool and soot. With water: grapefruit and chalk
restaurant Palate
rather perfect, though absolutely crammed with ashes. With water: the oloroso still sits high, though it’s true there’s only some of it, and only ‘predominantly’. From 51% upwards, that’s predominant, isn’t it? This terminology may go down in the annals of malt whisky history, I tell you (right?)
timer Finish
fresh, long, uplifting and, indeed, exuding Islay. Pears, lemons, oysters and tar in the aftertaste
