Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아드베그 1994를 싱글 캐스크로 26년 숙성해 47.8도로 병입한 아일라다. 노즈에서는 좋은 피트 스모크에 바닐라가 얹히고 유칼립투스 같은 옅은 약재 뉘앙스가 명확하게 드러난다. 입에서는 즉각적인 재와 훈연 뒤로 흰 과일과 바닐라의 단맛이 또렷하게 발전하며 오크의 타닌이 균형을 잡는다. 강한 스모크에도 의외로 부드럽고 젠틀한 구성이며, 여운은 올리브 절임과 소금기로 길고 짭짤하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
simpler and narrower than the Angelshare, with less depth, and probably a little less flaws (no pine-y notes, no washing powder). It's relatively light, but there's good peat smoke, coated with a little vanilla. A very light medicinal touch (eucalyptus). I find it nice, simple, and rather gentle for Ardbeg, despite the high smoke
restaurant Palate
full, immediate, ashy and smoky, with sweeter fruits and vanilla in the back. I seem to feel a rather young spirit (the white fruits) and some slightly prominent oak (tea tannins, vanilla, white pepper). Other than that, it's lightly medicinal and briny, but less tarry/phenolic than older bottlings, while the Angelshare still had a bit of that. Anyway, I find it very good
timer Finish
rather long, and pretty saltier and brinier. Olive brine and white mezcal - which, again, is good in my book
