Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
연한 볏짚빛이 잔 안에서 맑게 빛난다. 아드벡 특유의 왁스와 퍼티, 조개껍질과 아몬드 오일의 해안 내음이 절제된 긴장 속에 피어오른다. 입에서는 48.5도의 질감이 의외로 섬세해 레몬 껍질과 유칼립투스, 굴의 짭조름함이 소금기와 얽혀 흐른다. 퍼스트필 버번이 20년의 원액을 우아하게 다듬었다. 여운은 길지만 여전히 단정하며 퍼티와 소금 뿌린 아몬드, 허브의 향이 아일라 싱글 캐스크의 개성을 오래 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
remember these are the first vintages after the reopening of the distillery by Glenmo (1997 if I remember well). What’s really striking here is the beautiful austerity, the oils and waxes that abound right away, and the way it keeps getting louder over the minutes. It is really very waxy, say on plasticine, with whiffs of seashells on a beach, clams, almond oil, and just above everything, some very Ardbeggian fresh putty
restaurant Palate
it’s pretty delicate for a start, balmy, with herbal pastes and essential oils (lemon peel, eucalyptus), pretty salty, more elegant than vituperative, unfolding on oysters, and I mean that it really tastes of oysters, then on some funny kind of salted chartreuse – which works a treat, quite bizarrely. Some elements are clearly reminiscent of the gentler 1977-1979 vintages. Flaxseed oil
timer Finish
rather long but still very elegant, with this putty/salted almonds combo and many sweeter aromatic herbs and plants. Wormwood, verbena, lemongrass, starflower... Plasticine is back in the aftertaste, which will please our inner children
