Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 트라이 반 특유의 향기롭고 섬세한 피트 연기가 백단향과 가구 광택제, 부서진 조개껍질을 감싸며 두드러진다. 훈연 홍차와 멘톨 담배 같은 뉘앙스가 복합성을 더한다. 팰럿은 46.2도로 후추와 훈연 올리브유, 타르가 강하게 드러나며 부싯돌 같은 미네랄과 캠퍼, 말린 라임 껍질이 발전한다. 억센 광물성이 구조를 세운다. 훈연의 결이 섬세하게 드러난다. 피니시는 중간 길이로 매콤하고 피트한 온기와 함께 가죽, 솔방울, 나무 연기가 남아, 19년 숙성 아드벡의 절제된 힘을 보여준다.
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
