Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 전설적인 아드벡 1966이 32년의 시간을 거치며 옅어진 토탄 연기 위로 열대 과일과 꿀, 왁스의 향을 또렷하게 드러낸다. 오랜 숙성이 강렬한 피트를 우아한 결로 바꿔 놓았다. 입에서는 은은한 훈연과 망고, 가벼운 소금기가 42.6도의 절제된 도수 위에서 매끄럽게 발전한다. 희귀한 올드 아일라 몰트다운 복합적이고 부드러운 풍미가 또렷하며, 피니시는 옅은 재와 과일의 단맛이 길게 이어진다.

yah! It's the wood that talks first in this one, which is pretty unusual with old Ardbegs. Starts on varnish, plain oak and pineapple liqueur, which is even more unusual! It's only after quite a while that Ardbeg's sootiness comes through - and beautifully so. Also a little tar, eucalyptus and seashells (oysters). To be honest, this isn't very complex whisky, it'll all happen on the palate - hopefully

ho-ho-ho, this is immensely medicinal and absolutely stunning. High concentration, loads of resinous and herbal flavours (spearmint, chlorophyl gums, marzipan, smoked lemon (and why not?), mint and chocolate (After Eight), eucalyptus drops, salmiak, lemon-flavoured fudge, clams, more mint, aniseed, dill, ginger and cloves (dentist's)...) Simply amazing. Please call the anti-maltoporn brigade!
