Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 금빛 속에 오래 숙성된 아일라의 기운이 잠겨 있다. 아드벡이 1991년부터 27년을 보내며 거칠던 피트가 둥글게 다듬어져 옅은 훈연과 레몬, 미네랄의 향이 우아하게 어우러진다. 48.5도의 입맛은 부드럽게 번지며 바닷소금과 바닐라, 미세한 그을음이 또렷이 드러난다. 여운은 짭조름한 연기와 단맛이 은은한 시트러스와 함께 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
not a sherry monster, rather a very lovely leathery nose, that also combines cigars, polished woods, camphor, pinesap, black olive brine and a few drops of oyster sauce. Should go well with sushi ;-). I could go on and on but that’s not needed. A very complex nose that starts a little ‘narrow’, but never stops getting wider and more complex. Time is on its side
restaurant Palate
exactly the opposite. This is immediate and evident, quite massive, even a little thick, very spicy and kind of ‘infused’. Bitter oranges, leather, tobacco, Mandarine Impériale, a little chocolate, some pepper. And cloves, caraway, liquorice, menthol, a slice of black truffle (from the sherry cask I presume)… It’s not that immediate after all
timer Finish
very long and almost ever-lasting. The strength is not the highest but the spirit’s quite thick and ‘dominant’. Some kind of heavy cough medicine in the aftertaste
