Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 아드벡 원액이 빚은 짙은 이탄 연기와 요오드의 향이 노즈에서 드러난다. 킬달턴으로 병입된 2003년 빈티지의 22년산으로, 세컨드필 배럴이 거친 피트를 다듬어 레몬과 바닐라의 산뜻함을 발전시킨다. 팰럿은 53.7도의 힘으로 장작 연기와 소금, 검은 후추가 명확한 구조를 이룬다. 긴 피니시에는 그을음과 해초, 은은한 단맛이 단단한 균형으로 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it's not complicated, and I guess there's less super-old Ardbeg than in earlier batches anyway, but balance was found, with some straight smoke (exhaust) and then a combo of vanilla fudge, custard and lemon curd. A little wet paint as well, some leather and just a little tobacco. Maybe it's narrower than the first Uigeadails but so far, so good. And I enjoy these black olives that come out after ten minutes. With water: swims perfectly. Putty, almonds, seashells
restaurant Palate
it's perfect. Simple, but perfect. Impressive mouth feel. Lemon zests, bitter herbs, tar, brine and liquorice. It's certainly less rich and opulent than the first Uigeadails from ten years ago, but I'm not sure it's lost anything. I enjoy this more chiselled style. With water: smoother, with some orange blossom honey, but the tarry and liquoricy side remains big. Also kumquats and bergamots
timer Finish
long, with even more tar and smoke
