Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔에 깊게 머문다. 셰리 호그스헤드에서 20년을 보낸 아드벡답게 타르와 그을린 참나무, 마른 과일의 향이 강렬한 피트 연기와 뒤엉켜 솟아오른다. 한 모금 머금으면 57.1도의 힘이 짭조름한 훈연과 셰리의 달큰함을 한꺼번에 밀어 올리고, 다크초콜릿과 가죽이 입을 묵직하게 채운다. 여운은 재와 검은 과일의 쌉싸름함을 길게 남기며 천천히 사그라든다.
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.
