Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 짙은 피트 스모크와 셰리의 단맛이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 케이드헤드의 오센틱 컬렉션으로 출시된 아드벡 1975년산 20년 셰리 캐스크 보틀링이다. 팰럿은 빽빽한 토탄 연기와 진한 건과일, 짭조름한 해염이 명확하게 발전한다. 51.8%의 알코올이 묵직하게 입을 채우며 아일라 남부의 강한 캐릭터가 단단한 구조감을 받쳐 준다. 피니시는 마른 가죽과 다크 초콜릿 향이 깊게 머문다.
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’
