Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남부 해안의 거친 바닷바람과 짙은 피트가 아드벡의 강렬한 캐릭터를 처음부터 끝까지 관통한다. 1993년 증류해 오크 캐스크에서 15년을 보낸 원액은 잔에서 옅은 황금빛으로 빛난다. 타르와 그을린 장작, 레몬과 후추가 강하게 올라온다. 58.9도의 높은 도수로 입에서는 훈연과 요오드, 다크초콜릿의 쓴 단맛이 거세게 밀려든다. 여운은 재와 바다 내음, 매캐한 연기와 옅은 단맛이 길고 강렬하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
archetypical Ardbeg from that period in my opinion (the distillery was only running intermittently), with probably more tar and coal on the nose than before… and later. There’s also a little lemon and then exactly what some guys call ‘a fisherman’s boat’. Fish (obviously), diesel oil, seawater, fuel smoke, tarry rope… Tod bad there are also notes of wet cardboard that arise and that get bigger and bigger, but it also gets more medicinal, somewhat ala Laphroaig (antiseptic)
restaurant Palate
much more lemon in the attack, candied fruits, straight peat… And a lot of salt that comes very early. There’s a little cardboard once again but less than on the nose. Goes on with notes of seashells and lemon, bitter almonds, maybe a little green tea, and finally some pepper and even more salt. Faint mouldiness but that goes well with the profile here
timer Finish
rather long, tarry, peaty and almondy, with even more salt. A lot of salt
