Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
전설로 회자되는 아드벡 1976이 옅은 황금빛으로 잔에 은은하게 일렁인다. 24년을 보낸 향은 짙은 타르와 잘 다듬어진 모닥불 연기 너머로 잘 익은 망고와 레몬이 묘하게 피어난다. 50도 원액은 그을린 보리와 짭조름한 미네랄, 옅은 후추가 매끈하게 입을 감싼다. 오래된 아드벡다운 깊은 스모크와 열대 과일의 여운이 길고 그윽하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
wow, even at 43%, this tells us how much Ardbeg was a fabulous whisky back in the mid-1970s (not that it isn’t anymore, mind you.) Exceptional mix of leather, tar, liquorice, warm butter, cough syrup, iodine, horseradish, kelp, caramelised apples and diesel oil. Only lacks a little length on the nose
restaurant Palate
excellent body and powerful attack but once again, that doesn’t last for too long, which may well be this one’s only flaw. Both ashier and fruitier than on the nose (more cooked apples) but also beautifully salty and coastal, with notes of cough syrup and almond milk, getting then more citrusy
timer Finish
too bad it’s a tad shortish but other than that it’s perfect, with something flinty like in some white sauvignons
