Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남부 킬다턴 해안의 짭조름한 바닷바람과 이탄 토양이 아드벡 1973의 캐릭터를 처음부터 끝까지 관통한다. 깊은 황금빛 너머로 잘 익은 페놀과 해초, 절인 레몬의 향이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 30년이 만든 단단한 훈연과 미네랄의 단맛이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며, 48.9도 알코올은 더글라스 라잉 플래티넘 보틀링의 깊이를 길게 풀어낸다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
back to extreme tart white wines, Sancerre and some chenins blancs, with a majestic yet well integrated peatiness, a whole plate of seashells and langoustines (add a lobster if you wish), that beach bonfire… And just a total, almost refreshing brightness. Some kind of smoked bread too, marzipan, then whiffs of 'new sneakers' (close to new electronics but not quite) and just a big brand new book. A lot of ink
restaurant Palate
big boy, extremely ashy at first, with a huge smoke of Octomore levels (was the purifier off?) and then the tartest lemons in the whole world. A very chalky and ashy mouth feel, rather on full- ashtray-mode. Very spectacular, even if it tends to become a tad rounder over time. Grapefruit juice, fat oysters, and just touches of vanilla from the cask
timer Finish
long, bright, smoky and ashy, with once again a little chenin blanc. Whisky de Loire? Some green apple liqueur and limoncello in the aftertaste, fifty-fifty
