Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 호그스헤드에서 25년을 견딘 긴 숙성이 아드벡의 강렬한 피트를 한결 깊게 익혔다. 오래된 셰리 통이 내준 말린 과일의 단맛 아래로 타르와 해초, 그을음의 향이 짙게 깔린다. 입에서는 훈제향과 다크 초콜릿, 감초의 쌉쌀함이 단단하게 얽힌다. 51.6도는 사반세기의 숙성만큼 둥글면서도 강단이 있다. 짙은 호박빛 잔에는 재와 소금기의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it’s some kind of Hampbeg, or Ardbden. Indeed, this noses just like a blend of clean Ardbeg and Hampden rum from Jamaica. Granted, there probably isn’t a single drop of Hampden inside, but there. Brine, sour apples, lemons, olives, smoke, sourdough, yoghurt, seaweed… Indeed, indeed. With water: yesss. Old tweed, Islay mud, tarmac, old kiln, creosote, beach pebbles, plastic pouch
restaurant Palate
the dry oak’s a little more prominent, and the whole a tad more on lemons and brine, but all remains very well and fine here. Wee touches of varnish, perhaps? But that would hint at Jamaican rum again, I agree. That’s intriguing. With water: yeppie, this works. Pepper, brine, salted fish, tar, liquorice, curry…
timer Finish
long, even more peppery. Where does all this pepper come from? The lemons return in the aftertaste, together with touches of leaves and branches
