Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 오스틴한 오일과 왁스로 열리며 조개껍질과 아몬드유, 아드벡 특유의 신선한 퍼티 뉘앙스가 앞선다. 재개장 직후 증류된 2000 빈티지 Y2K답게 시간이 지날수록 향이 또렷하게 커진다. 팰럿은 47.8도에서 의외로 섬세하게 열려 허브 페이스트와 레몬 껍질, 유칼립투스가 이어진다. 짭조름한 굴과 소금기 있는 샤르트뢰즈 같은 뉘앙스가 우아한 균형을 이룬다. 피니시는 길고 우아하며 퍼티와 소금기 있는 아몬드, 허브가 여운으로 남는다.
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
