Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 아드벡 8년답게 아일라 특유의 강한 타르와 훈연, 약품 같은 페놀이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 세컨드필 만자니야 버트가 들인 옅은 견과와 말린 살구, 소금기가 뒤따라 발전한다. 팰럿은 60.7도의 도수에서 훈연한 시트러스와 후추, 그을린 오크와 다크 초콜릿이 명확하게 드러난다. 피니시는 길고 강렬하며 재와 짭짤한 미네랄이 균형을 이루는, 오래 지속되는 단단한 구조다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
bacon and smoked sausage again, as in the 'Arrrrrrrdbeg!' (that was not a name for grownup enthusiasts, was it). Active wood, roasted bananas, sandalwood perhaps, and really a lot of bacon. No manzanilla-y notes yet, but 60.9% is high. With water: heavy smoked grist, carbon, ink, old magazines, walnuts, mustard indeed, unpacking new electronics…
restaurant Palate
high-power smoky and slightly mustardy arrival, then a drying and very ashy development, full of barbecued bacon… But it is too strong for me (S.!) With water: it's amazing that it would have become this manzanilla-y. Wonderfully salty, mustardy and walnutty, it's just that it doesn't swim too well, so please handle your pipette (or coffee spoon) like Karajan, not like Keith Moon
timer Finish
long, rather acidic, with a lot of citrus popping out, especially bitter oranges. We're well in Andalucía. Obvious oak spices in the aftertaste, the cask was rather active
