Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 금빛이 오래된 잔 속에 은은하게 빛난다. 1965년 증류된 아드벡을 카덴헤드가 셰리 우드에서 숙성해 병입한 희귀한 원액이다. 훈연한 미라벨과 후추 뿌린 마르멜로, 타르 같은 살구 향에 숯과 바닷물의 뉘앙스가 겹치고, 입에서는 연기와 타르, 감초와 잿빛 재가 46도의 질감으로 흐른다. 여운은 꿀 바른 살구와 타르 같은 재, 은은한 약재 향이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
like! We know peat and Sauternes/Barsac can work very well, as we could already see at Kornog's and elsewhere. So no clashes, rather smoked mirabelles, peppered quinces and tarry apricots, plus some charcoal and seawater. A touch of cream cheese in the background, or gorgonzola, which is fun. Works well too
restaurant Palate
very nice combo, even if the wine is very prominent. The thing is, good Sauternes is not a 'winey' wine. Also a lot of smoke, tar, coal, liquorice and just tonnes of ashes. I have the impression they've kept pushing the ashy side in recent years at Ardbeg, have they not? The combination keeps working very well, despite this slight, err, sweetness. Good integration
timer Finish
medium long, with good balance between, say the honeyed apricots and the tarry ashes. No feeling of a disjointed whisky. Some medicinal notes in the aftertaste, cough syrup…
