Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래된 셰리가 물들인 짙은 금빛이 잔 속에 무겁게 고인다. 아일라 아드벡 1975답게 젤리처럼 응축된 피트가 타르와 요오드, 그을린 올리브유의 향을 압도적으로 뿜어낸다. 20년을 보낸 52.2도의 원액은 입안에서 소금기와 조개 육수, 간장의 감칠맛에 이어 약재와 훈연, 옅은 열대 과일이 겹겹이 밀려든다. 여운은 타르와 피트, 해안의 짠 내음이 아득하도록 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
amazing similarity, and yet, clear difference. The peat is almost gelatinous and dominating here. Coal tar soap, animal fats, hessian, TCP, iodine drops, pure camphor, tarred rope and richly smoked olive oil. There’s also lemon oil, white mushroom and even wee tropical touches beginning to emerge, which we don’t often find in Ardbeg. With water: a tiny bit of Port Ellen cosplay going on with some slightly ‘dirty’ notes of creel nets and boiler smoke. But otherwise, it’s tarry rope and dry, peppery peat galore!
restaurant Palate
surprisingly, it’s the salinity which takes immediate centre stage. Stunningly precise, coastal, salty and full of shellfish broth, Maggi, soy sauce, horseradish and salt-baked cod. Then the peat and medicinal components really begin to emerge in force, also more lemon oil, more tiny wee exotic fruits and things like crystallised honey and classical waxes. With water: magnificent, all of the above but only more so. Stunning and quite breath-taking
timer Finish
another one that’s extremely long, really getting in the quantum realm of tar, peat, medicine, herbs and shoreline ‘vibes’
