Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 금빛이 잔 안에서 진하게 반짝인다. 아일라의 아드벡은, 뜨거운 여름 오후의 솔진과 타르, 기계 기름과 잘 익은 사과, 바닷물과 굴의 향을 코끝에 거칠고 강렬하게 쏟아 올린다. 2008년 증류해 14년을 보낸 이 위스키는 63.8도라는 압도적인 도수로 석유와 소독약, 아카시아 수지의 날카로운 풍미를 밀어붙인다. 물을 더하면 훈제 흑설탕과 담배, 재의 달큰함이 드러나며, 여운은 감초와 타르, 약재 같은 쌉싸름함이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
I like it! Pine resin on a hot August afternoon, teak oil, various paints and coatings, engine grease, tar, overripe apples... But it's slightly restrained by the very high alcohol content. We'll remedy that immediately: seawater, strong beer, sorrel and spinach, silt, mussels, oysters, tar... To be honest, it has a slight oil spill aspect to it. I know that's not a very attractive descriptor, but it's somewhat accurate
restaurant Palate
it knocks you flat instantly. Petrol, surgical spirit, acacia gum, bitters... With water: ah, here we are, a very nice Ardbeg, rather sweet, with smoked brown sugar (or something like that) and lots of tobacco, cough syrup, tar, and fireplace ashes
timer Finish
long, still quite sweet, caramelised, with a hint of liquorice... A more medicinal side again in the aftertaste
