Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남부 킬다튼 해안의 거센 바닷바람과 해초밭 곁에서 자란 아드벡은 짭조름한 훈연의 정수를 그대로 담는다. 잔에 옅은 황금빛이 비치고 25년의 시간이 깊은 토탄 향을 천천히 다듬어 둔다. 노즈에서 바닷내와 옅은 약품 같은 페놀, 레몬 껍질이 차례로 다가오며 50도의 술기운이 또렷한 윤곽을 그린다. 입에서는 그을린 나무와 굴 소금, 검은 후추가 1975 빈티지의 깊이를 펼친다. 여운에 짭조름한 훈연이 바람처럼 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
golden
air Nose
pure peat smoke. It's like walking through a kiln in full operation, with salmon, sorrel, mint, and apples in your pockets. But who would do that? Ashes and bacon in the background. It's an Ardbeg with surgical precision on the nose. With water: of course, at this strength, you only add a couple of drops of water, just to relax everything. And it works wonderfully, releasing old leather, horse saddle, marrow, honeys, aged Chardonnay, little candied citrus fruits, ashes... Who said Ardbeg was just about peat?
restaurant Palate
there's an essential, very compact, candied, concentrated aspect, focused on citrus and smokes. There's not much more to say, it's just perfect. With water: fruit jellies, quince, frozen service berries, medlar, mead (nectar of the gods), candied kumquat, overripe apple
timer Finish
medium length but of infinite delicacy. Who smoked all these wonderful jams? An outstanding aftertaste of every kind of pepper there is
