Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 캐스크에서 25년을 보낸 긴 세월이 아드벡 1991에 원숙한 깊이와 부드러운 유질감을 새겨 넣었다. 오래된 아일라답게 향은 옅은 신맛과 오래된 사과 주스, 삼베와 콜타르, 젖은 흙내음이 겹겹이 진하게 올라온다. 49.8도의 높은 도수 위로 짭짤한 소금기와 케이퍼, 초록 올리브와 감초, 레몬 사워크림의 결이 힘있게 밀려온다. 오랜 버번 숙성이 야성적이고 거친 피트를 한층 원숙하게 다독인다. 여운은 아주 길고 초록빛으로 날카로우며 재와 소금기, 감초의 잔향이 오래 깊게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
much, much rounder, and softer than the Chieftain’s, and that’s the bigger oak. But it’s also got this superb sourness that could be found in many an Ardbeg, something like old apple juice infused with hessian and just, yeah, coal tar. So it seems to be fatter, and even a little more manure-y. More from the countryside, if you prefer
restaurant Palate
big and strong, very salty, and very ‘green’, in a good way. I’m finding capers, green olives, green liquorice, then a little lemon-flavoured sour cream and this dirtiness that works so well. In fact, it’s a little unlikely and yogurty, but that works extremely well. A great flaw, as they say (who, who says that?) And more capers, many more briny capers…
timer Finish
very long, green, sharp, acidic, smoky, and very briny. The nose was a touch soft, this is sharp as a razorblade
