Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스트필 버번 배럴이 14년 동안 아드벡의 강렬한 피트에 바닐라의 단맛을 입힌 싱글 캐스크다. 코에는 타르와 바다 소금, 갓 깐 레몬이 날카롭게 오른다. 한 모금에는 짙은 훈연과 후추, 그 아래 깔린 달콤한 바닐라가 54.1도의 힘으로 입을 강하게 채운다. 옅은 황금빛 잔 너머로 그을린 숯과 소금기의 여운이 묵직하고 길게 남는 아일라 피트의 정수다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it's good, effective, very peaty of course, again with barbecue and ash notes, a sherry influence more discreet than in the past (green walnuts), and some broken branches. Some sap, in short. With water: very, very good, maritime, with very nice notes of barbecue on the beach, when we grill both fresh fish and marshmallows. Not together mind you!
restaurant Palate
it's very good, very powerful, with much more substance than in the Corryvreckan. It almost tastes like smoked walnut oil, just like there's smoked sesame oil. In fact, we can find a bit of that too in this Uigeadail. Also some touches of canned peach, which always works. With water: milk chocolate and roasted peanuts. What wouldn't I do for some roasted peanuts!?
timer Finish
long and a bit more drying which is really not unusual. Very nice final finish on oysters and candied citron, plus a bit of walnut oil and chocolate
