Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에 담긴 빛은 옅은 밀짚빛으로 맑게 빛난다. 코끝에는 진흙과 마지팬의 부드러운 단내가 먼저 오르고 은은한 해초와 마른 타르, 옅은 민트가 뒤를 받친다. 한 모금은 46도라는 도수를 넘어서는 힘으로 소금기와 자몽, 해안의 이탄을 밀어붙이고 바닷물을 삼킨 듯한 짠맛이 중심을 잡는다. 1963년 증류된 옛 아드벡답게 우아함으로 기운 개성이 또렷해, 재와 레몬, 바닷물의 기름진 여운이 길게 감돈다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
lots of clay and modelling putty at first, then a lovely sweetness sets in, mainly on marzipan, fresh putty and shellfish, with very gentle seaweed and just hints of tar and mild mint. This is an Ardbeg leaning rather towards elegance
restaurant Palate
splendid! As gentle and restrained as the nose was, the palate bursts forth with salinity, grapefruit and sheer coastal peat, you get the impression of swallowing seawater or taking a massive wave full in the face. The rest is extraordinary, with all the usual suspects: gentian, chartreuse, absinthe, limoncello, oysterleaf and a myriad of tiny edible herbs, the whole as precisely tuned as a V12
timer Finish
long, more medicinal, and feeling more like 50% than 46, with an increasingly oily texture and an aftertaste on the trio of ashes, lemon and seawater
