Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 20년을 보낸 아드벡이 맑은 황금빛으로 흔들린다. 코를 가져가면 버번 호그스헤드의 바닐라 아래로 타르와 그을음, 짭조름한 바닷내음이 솟아오른다. 한 모금 머금으면 57.1도가 강렬하게 퍼지며 훈제 연기와 레몬, 후추가 한꺼번에 번진다. 1993년 아일라에서 증류한 원액답게 거센 피트가 세월에 살짝 둥글어졌다. 천천히 삼키면 식은 모닥불과 소금기가 입안에 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pink gold
air Nose
superbly waxy at first nosing, but also very musty, with some bold mushroomy notes. Also some coastal notes, with some sea air mixed with caramel, cappuccino, mocha. A very nice blend, although the old bottle effect may be too heavy here
restaurant Palate
dry and a little too bitter, and also very caramelly (too seasoned?). Some notes of herbal tea and candy sugar, but not much else. The finish is rather short, yet quite bitter. Undoubtedly a very, very good old blend, that might just have got a little too tired after a good thirty-five years in its bottle. 77 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: well not really recommended, actually, but maybe MS Demeanor (and Stevie Moore) doing Whose fantasy is this anyways.mp3 will make you laugh a little... And please buy their 'music' if you laughed.
