Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남부 아드벡 만의 매서운 바닷바람과 두꺼운 토탄층이 아드벡 1975 빈티지의 16년 숙성에 매서운 토탄 연기의 결을 새겨 넣었다. 잔에는 옅은 황금빛이 잠겨 있고 노즈에는 그을린 토탄, 짠 미네랄, 익은 사과의 향이 또렷이 깃든다. 입에 들어오면 56.7도의 강한 알코올과 함께 훈제 보리, 짭짤한 캐러멜, 가벼운 약품의 풍미가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 여운은 70년대 아드벡 특유의 깊은 토탄과 짠 바람으로 길게 이어진다.

straw
air Nose
quite discreet at first nosing, with faint hints of slightly rancid butter and old nuts, but it gets quickly quite nicer. Rather soft and lemony, maritime but discreetly so. Something bizarrely metallic in the background… But the rest is excellent, with the usual coastal notes (shells and seaweed), notes of lemon balm and spearmint, oysters, whiffs of diesel oil, cider… It’s lightly peaty, that is – maybe it’s the decanter that provokes a quicker fading?
restaurant Palate
the attack is rather weird I must say, with a strange mixture of salt, cardboard, tea, turpentine, pepper and smokiness, with quite some rotting oranges as well. Something lavenderish and soapy like in some versions of a certain other distillery. Not bad but lacking ‘cleanliness’ and complexity. The finish is ok, that is, once everything mingles into something quite nicely peaty and peppery… 77 points . Ardbeg 1975/1990 (57%, Duthie for Samaroli, Flowers, 480 bottles) Already had this one but it didn’t convince me, so this is second try
