Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 짚빛이 잔 속에서 투명하게 빛난다. 아일라의 아드벡을 퍼스트필 버번 배럴에 담아 17년 보낸 이 싱글 캐스크는 레몬과 커스터드의 향 위로 잿빛 해안 연기와 켈프의 짠 기운을 또렷이 얹는다. 51.4도 아래로 순수하고 명료한 훈연이 곧게 뻗는다. 한 모금 머금으면 캐러웨이와 넛맥, 생강과 정향의 향신료가 오크와 함께 번지고 그을린 피트가 혀를 덮는다. 여운은 레몬과 매콤한 자몽, 옅은 연기를 남기며 산뜻하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
as simple as 1+1, almost elementary, and yet immediately appealing. I’m finding it very pure, very obvious in the best way, with a little lemon and custard, and then an ashy/coastal smokiness mixed with raw malt and, indeed, some kelp. A thin nose, yet a great nose. With water: fresh bread and a gingery smoke
restaurant Palate
very different, there’s perhaps a little too much spicy oak for me in the arrival. A little too much caraway, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves for Ardbeg, at times it feels like some two-year-old American craft whiskey, really. Not that it’s bad, quite the opposite, it’s just kind of lost lost a wee chunk of the brand’s DNA, as they say in London. With water: rather better, water brings out more Ardbegness
timer Finish
better, fresher, lemony, smoky, rather gentle. Very nice spicy grapefruits in the aftertaste, as well as more spicy tannins again
