Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1967년 증류된 아드벡의 깊은 피트와 타르, 잘 익은 열대 과실이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 32년 장기 숙성으로 거친 훈연이 부드럽게 다듬어져 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 49도의 원숙한 질감으로 그을린 오크와 망고, 짭조름한 미네랄이 발전하며 균형이 단단하다. 피니시는 재와 감초, 오일리한 스모크가 길게 이어지며 더글라스 레잉 올드 몰트 캐스크의 구조감이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
starts on a rather beautiful sherry, very fruity (apricot jam) and quite lively, even if the distillery character is a little absent here. Nice notes of parsley, chives and a little fresh mint. Starts more and more to smell like a freshly opened pack of liquorice all-sorts. Also quite some orange marmalade. Absolutely no sulphur at all. A little peat after a long time
restaurant Palate
the attack is on very dry sherry, with lots of bitter chocolate and espresso, cocoa, Smyrna raisins and mint. Again, little distillery character left in this one. The peat takes its time but when it comes it’s rather beautiful, sort of earthy, leafy and tobacco-like (chewed pipe tobacco)
timer Finish
not very long but quite beautifully dry, coffeeish and earthy. Not the best very old Ardbeg ever (the sherry is maybe too dominating) but it’s still a legend. 89 points . Ardbeg 32 yo 1967/2000 (49%, Douglas Laing OMC, 309 bottles)
