Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 아드벡 1975가 18년 셰리에서 빚어낸 어둡고 짠 연기와 검은 자두, 가죽 향이 솟아오른다. 잔을 흔들면 깊은 호박빛이 잔벽에 진하게 묻어난다. 한 모금을 머금으면 56도의 알코올이 또렷이 입을 가르고 다크 초콜릿, 마른 무화과, 짙은 피트가 따라온다. 캐든헤드 오센틱 컬렉션답게 셰리와 피트의 결합이 입천장에 깊게 깃들어 있다. 삼킨 뒤 그을음과 셰리 잔향이 호흡 끝까지 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
what strikes first are the more sooty and cereal tones. Like fresh kiln air tinged with blue peat smoke. Then you start to get these wee whiffs of menthol tobacco, black olive, kelp, brine and bonfire ash. Extremely pure and with a big but brittle austerity. Malt vinegar, camphor, vapour rubs, bandages and seawater. Whereas the 74 was a little easier and more restrained, this is rather more beastly. Immense! With water: the power remains but what is so striking is the freshness. Really pure sea air in a glass! Sandalwood, gorse, sand, crushed shells, white fish and simmering stock full of many different herbs
restaurant Palate
Powerful but restrained arrival that then unfolds into the most immense salinity! Pure seawater, wet seaweed, oysters, sea urchin, mercurochrome, aspirin, petrol, natural tar and antiseptic. The kind of gunk you could stand a spoon in and disinfect whole hospitals with a single measure. Also profoundly peppery, sooty, oily and still wonderfully tarry. With water: the power is still dazzling but everything is even more fat, precise and generous now. More black pepper, more olives, more brine, more smoked sea salt, more olive oil, more medicine, more herbs and more peat. Just MORE!
timer Finish
endlessly fat, greasy, salty and medical. A big, fat, slithering peatiness
