Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남부의 짭조름한 바닷바람과 피트 늪지대가 아드벡 1978의 캐릭터를 처음부터 끝까지 관통한다. 19년의 시간이 1978년 스피릿을 옅은 황금빛으로 다듬어 잔에 잠긴다. 향에서는 짭조름한 연기와 요오드, 마른 미역이 또렷이 깃든다. 입을 채우는 51.4도의 두꺼운 질감이 묵직하게 흘러내리며 훈제 베이컨과 옅은 시트러스, 미네랄이 두껍게 드러난다. 여운은 바다 소금과 피트가 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep orangey gold
air Nose
the sherry shows! We are on wonderfully sweet and syrupy tar extracts and resinous fir woods, also salted almonds, some slight leathery funkiness and peppery peat that feels nicely sweet. With water: gathers complexity now with more fir woods, fennel, aniseed and cola syrup. Also more tar and salted liquorice
restaurant Palate
wonderfully on tars, coconut, herbal cough syrups, medicinal balms and medicinal tinctures. A sweet and syrupy peat that feels nicely textural and yet still pretty salty. More salted almonds and flavours reminiscent of bacon frazzle crisps and bacon jam. With water: you could almost believe this is 1970s Ardbeg with these magnificently fat and gloopy sweet peat flavours, dominated by sweet herbal cough syrups and old honey liqueur impressions. Some smoked herbal teas as well. Wonderful!
timer Finish
long, camphor and tar ridden, peppery and sweet peat galore in the aftertaste
