Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 1975년 빈티지 아일라 아드벡 21년의 옅은 황금빛이 잔 안쪽을 미끄러진다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 70년대 아드벡 특유의 트로피컬 과일과 식어가는 피트 연기, 옅은 바닷내가 차례로 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 53.8%의 도수가 입안에서 망고와 패션프룻, 부드러운 피트와 옅은 가죽의 결로 풀려나간다. 삼킨 뒤에도 1975 빈티지 아드벡의 전설적인 잔향이 입천장에 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
it's not one of the classic old Ardbegs in the same series as it starts more on sultanas, bacon and honey sauce. Even less 'big peat' than in the Alligator. Goes on with a little sour apple juice, leather, walnuts, malt (beer) and something quite rubbery (bicycle inner tube) as well as a little mercurochrome. With water: more rubber, more tarmac and more kelp. Bitter chocolate as well. Also 'funny' whiffs of roses and patchouli
restaurant Palate
I find the sweetness a bit weird here, it's unusually fruity in fact. Litres of raspberry eau-de-vie - in an old Ardbeg! I quite like that, it's just that it's so uncommon… After that, more leathery tones, raisins, orange drops, gentian spirit, toffee… And something surprisingly metallic (silver spoon). Really an unusual one. With water: still a little weird. Orange and ginger liqueurs - I mean a mix thereof
timer Finish
long, first dry, then perfumy. Raspberry drops and heavy liquorice. Strange!
