Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 밀짚빛 황금이 투명하게 잔을 채운다. 1994년 버번 호그스헤드에서 26년을 보낸 아드벡은 세월이 다듬은 깊은 피트 향을 지닌다. 향에는 타르와 그을린 재, 레몬 껍질의 산뜻함이 함께 피어오르고, 47.4도의 한 모금은 훈연과 소금기, 후추의 매운 기운으로 입천장을 덮는다. 오랜 숙성이 강렬한 피트를 둥글게 깎아 단맛과 연기가 단단히 맞물리고, 여운에는 바닷내음과 잔잔한 재의 쓴맛이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
I find it very unusual, very grassy and sour, almost on sauce béarnaise at first (tarragon, chervil, shallot, butter) but the expected hessian, tar and just seawater are soon to take over. Now some kind of curry-mayonnaise-y notes remain there while crabs and langoustines are approaching too. I love this, a lot of action and difference. The salt of life
restaurant Palate
it is really very singular. More tangerines and even litchis, with a kind of fake softness (you would believe it's soft at times but it kicks you back) then some kind of tarry mustard. Wondering whether some kind of *** chef hasn't been working on this hogshead. Heston Blumenthal?
timer Finish
medium to long, always with this funny smoky mustard. Shallots in the aftertaste. Quite
