Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남부 해안의 이탄 습지와 대서양 파도가 아드벡의 강렬한 훈연을 처음부터 끝까지 관통한다. 잔에는 밝은 금빛이 어린다. 아델피가 담은 1999 빈티지는 좁고 재 같은 이탄 연기에 크랜베리의 새콤함이 스치는 향을 곧게 밀어 올린다. 58.5도의 카스크 스트렝스는 입안에서 신 과일과 타르, 훈제한 감귤을 강렬하게 펼친다. 복잡하기보다 단순하고 완결된 이탄의 힘이 오히려 아드벡다운 미덕으로 다가온다. 9년을 지낸 이 보틀링은 재의 뒷맛과 소금기, 요오드의 여운을 길게 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s showing self-restraint and would rather talk branches and fresh nuts before a perfectly well-carved smokiness arises, very narrow, almost philosophical (frugality and stuff) and extremely ashy. It’s really plain peat smoke, as if we were in a working kiln, although a few berries would show off as well. Cranberries? With water: it’s the Ten, more or less, with just a little more profoundness. No complains, love the Ten
restaurant Palate
these sour fruits and this tar that scream Ardbeg. As if they had tried to smoke guavas. In the background, the usual tarry ropes and touches of tangerines. Smoked, naturally. It’s not complex, but that’s almost what you were expecting, something simple and perfect. With water: and bicycle inner tubes, lemons, samphires, and seaweed. Well, we’ve got a full team
timer Finish
medium, with the only descriptor that was missing, smoked fish. Very ashy aftertaste, with a little salt as well, and something medicinal (tincture of iodine). This time, we’ve really got a full team
