Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밝은 짚빛이 잔 속에 또렷이 어린다. 8년의 아드벡답게 향에서는 옅게 짭짤한 훈제 바다 소금과 백단, 소금에 절인 피클 즙, 훈제 청어의 기운이 배어난다. 입에서는 50.8도의 도수 위로 기름지고 질감 좋은 피트가 페놀과 엔진 그리스, 타르, 요오드, 검은 후추 위에 두껍게 발린 듯 흐른다. 아드벡다운 그을음과 짭짤한 기름기가 압권을 이루며, 후추와 타르, 옅은 비린내가 어우러진 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
bright straw
air Nose
delicately salty, this sense of things like smoked and pink sea salts. Bath bombs, sandalwood, briny pickling juices, kippers - feels notably more mature after the 5yo, perhaps deceptively so. But still, it's another very good one. With water: getting more aromatic and medicinal now with things like witchhazel, wintergreen and aniseed. Some touches of germoline and camphor as well
restaurant Palate
hoho, lovely oily and textural peat, slathered on phenolics, engine grease, tar extracts, some punchy hospital vibes, gauze, iodine, black pepper and thick sooty notes. Totally superb and the texture is really what impresses most! With water: wonderful peat flavour, cough medicines, pepper and anchovy paste. A terrific tarriness that feels totally Ardbeggy
timer Finish
good length, peppery, tarry, slightly fishy and still with this wonderfully oily and phenolic vibe
