Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 셰리 호그스헤드 위로 밀랍 같은 왁스와 버섯, 바닷바람의 짠 향이 먼저 두드러진다. 카푸치노와 모카의 볶은 뉘앙스가 겹치고, 팰럿에서는 57.4도가 마른 쌉쌀함과 허브차, 사탕수수의 단맛을 밀어 올린다. 피니시는 짧지만 쌉쌀하게 재와 스파이스가 이어진다. 1993년 증류해 2004년 병입한 아드벡으로 오래된 병 특유의 개성과 무게가 분명하게 드러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pink gold
air Nose
superbly waxy at first nosing, but also very musty, with some bold mushroomy notes. Also some coastal notes, with some sea air mixed with caramel, cappuccino, mocha. A very nice blend, although the old bottle effect may be too heavy here
restaurant Palate
dry and a little too bitter, and also very caramelly (too seasoned?). Some notes of herbal tea and candy sugar, but not much else. The finish is rather short, yet quite bitter. Undoubtedly a very, very good old blend, that might just have got a little too tired after a good thirty-five years in its bottle. 77 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: well not really recommended, actually, but maybe MS Demeanor (and Stevie Moore) doing Whose fantasy is this anyways.mp3 will make you laugh a little... And please buy their 'music' if you laughed.
