Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
연한 황금빛이 잔 안에서 깨끗하게 빛난다. 1973년에 증류된 아드벡이 17년의 시간을 거치며 풀어낸 피트는 오늘날의 거친 연기와 달리 농축된 트로피컬 과일과 옅은 약초, 바다 갯내가 함께 어우러진다. 한 모금을 머금으면 55.4도의 알코올이 부드럽게 자리를 내주고 망고, 라피노스, 옅은 약방 노트가 입천장을 적신다. 여운은 1970년대 아드벡 특유의 트로피컬 피트가 잔 안에 길게 잠겨 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
how many whiskies are there that combine heavy peat and sherry in such an otherworldly manner? Port Ellen 12 James Mac Arthur? Ardbeg 1976 Feis Ile? Laphroaig 1974 OB? Caol Ila 15 yo Manager’s Dram? Kingsburies? Maybe ten. Okay, twenty. Tasting notes? Nope. With water: it’s like a very, very old Madeira – if you see what I mean. Very gamy and beautifully so
restaurant Palate
bang-bang-bang-bang! Okay, it’s maybe not as utterly brilliant as on the nose when neat but what a fab combo! Let’s keep this short: peat and sherry can sometimes create a third dimension, and that’s what’s happening here. With water: this is very funny, it became extremely fruity, not unlike a sangria (made with Alvaro Palacios’ best ;-)). Blood oranges galore, strawberries, blackberries, big fat juicy ripe black cherries… That was unexpected!
timer Finish
more sangria ;-) plus a lot of smoke – of course
