Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛에 분홍이 살짝 비치는 빛깔이 잔에 감돈다. 퍼스트필 모스카텔 바리크가 더해진 덕에 아드벡의 묵직한 토탄 연기 위로 말린 포도와 꿀, 절인 자몽 향이 겹겹이 얹힌다. 한 모금에는 그을린 바비큐와 달콤한 백포도, 바닐라가 맞물리며 59.3도의 힘이 혀끝을 강하게 자극한다. 아일라 남단의 거친 훈연이 모스카텔의 단맛과 부딪혀 독특한 긴장을 만든다. 여운에는 재와 소금, 마른 과일의 잔향이 길게 풀려난다.

With water: there you have it, it’s cleaner, more Ardbeg, more maritime, almost fresher. Crabs, hessian, seawater, old ship ropes… the lot. Impeccable

an uppercut to the chin followed by a right hook, it floors you straight away. Are you kidding? Honestly, this is brutal in its natural state. A slight sulphury note, but that could come from the peat, no worries there. With water: oh yes, now we’re talking, a bit raw, a bit rustic, but Islay was never Mayfair anyway. Salt, tar, bacon, mussels, chocolate and two little raisins. Let’s say three
timer Finish
long, with more ashes and that rubbery tar so typical of ‘Ardbeg’. And a black olive
