Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 아드벡다운 짙은 타르와 약품 같은 피트 연기가 강렬하게 솟구친다. 잔을 흔들면 그 아래로 레몬과 바닐라, 갓 구운 빵의 단내가 비집고 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 19년 숙성이 빚은 모닥불 그을음과 시트러스의 단맛이 활기차게 퍼진다. 삼키면 짭짤한 재와 후추의 열기가 51도의 힘으로 혀 끝에서 오래 타오른다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
what I love here is that you can tell the cask in this case was rather active, but it has fused with the distillate in such a way as to create this rather singular and gelatinous profile that suggests peat-infused olive oil, herbal extracts and sugary cough medicines. Beneath that natural tar, embrocations, camphor and a touch of seawater. Superb! With water: fresher with some ozone and sea breeze, although also a hint of swimming pools. Mercurochrome and sardines in oil
restaurant Palate
the oak spices are a little louder here, some hot green pepper, graphite oil, tar extract once again, paprika, umami paste and hessian. Smouldering wood embers and dried seaweed. I really like it but the cask is perhaps just a notch too active. With water: more singularly peaty, tarry, peppery and classical now. Big, weighty, spicy and chewy Ardbeg
timer Finish
long, these warming notes of toasty green pepper and wood spice are back mingling with the peat smoke, brine and tar
