Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남안의 거친 파도와 이탄밭이 아드벡의 강렬한 훈연을 키워낸 자리다. 아메리칸 오크와 올로로소 셰리에서 19년을 보낸 트라이그 반은 옅은 금빛을 낸다. 향은 백단향과 훈제 찻잎, 부서진 조개껍질에 멘톨 담배가 은은하게 퍼지고, 입에서는 후추와 타르, 스모크한 올리브유가 캠퍼와 아니스, 마른 라임 껍질로 발전한다. 여운은 가죽과 솔방울, 나무 연기에 후추의 온기를 오래도록 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
a highly aromatic and scented type of peat smoke that feels quite wispy, soft and permeating with impressions of sandalwood, furniture polish and crushed sea shells. Also things like smoked tea, menthol tobacco, myrtle and heather beer. Even though I suppose this is early 2000s Glenmorangie produced batches now, it feels more reminiscent of the 1990s Allied style. Which is quite reassuring in many ways
restaurant Palate
pepper, smoked olive oil, very tarry, a lot of hessian, smoked cereals and some struck flints and other rather punchy mineral touches. In time it evolves these big camphor aspects but also quite a lot of dried herbs, aniseed, dried lime peel and hardwood resins
timer Finish
medium and with this warming peppery and peaty side (which seems to be an increasing hallmark of these modern Ardbeg), leather, pine cones, wood smoke and a little more aniseed
