Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 돌리면 아일라의 어린 위스키답게 옅은 밀짚빛이 잔 벽에 빠르게 흐른다. 코끝에 가져가면 버번 쿼터 캐스크에서 길어 올린 바닐라와 그 위에 얹힌 청량한 해풍, 갓 깎은 풀냄새가 함께 솟아오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 50도의 알코올이 짠 미네랄과 옅은 훈연을 입천장에 밀어 올린다. 삼키면 레몬 껍질과 어린 보리향이 길게 이어지며 아드나호의 신생 캐릭터를 또렷이 보여준다.
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
