Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 아드벡 트라이 반 특유의 섬세하고 향기로운 이탄 연기가 스미고, 백단향과 부서진 조개껍질, 훈제 찻잎의 뉘앙스가 결을 따라 퍼진다. 한 모금 삼키면 46.2도의 몸통 위로 후추와 훈제 올리브유, 타르 같은 미네랄이 강렬하게 번진다. 시간이 지나면 캠퍼와 마른 허브, 아니스가 얼굴을 내민다. 2001년 증류해 19년을 보낸 이 아일라 몰트는 목을 넘긴 자리에 후추와 소나무의 온기가 길게 타오른다.
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
