Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 아일라 아드벡 19년이 아메리칸 오크와 퍼스트필 PX 버트에서 얻은 짙은 호박빛 너머로 묵직한 토탄 연기를 먼저 내민다. 향을 들이마시면 모닥불 재와 타르, PX 셰리의 진한 건포도와 다크초콜릿이 겹쳐 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 56.8도의 강렬한 기운이 혀를 감싸며 그을린 보리와 달콤한 자두가 번진다. 삼키면 매캐한 연기와 셰리의 단맛이 복합적으로 길게 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
I’d swear they pushed the US oak. This reeks of plankish vanilla and sawdust at first nosing, and you have to wait for a few seconds before you may experience more Ardbegness. Tarry ropes, smoked almonds, old hessian, sea air, cider apples… Everything is slowly falling into place, but that wasn’t obvious. Mixed feelings… so far… With water: simple. Water doesn’t add much. A little varnish, perhaps
restaurant Palate
of course it’s quite good. Smoky lemons, marzipan, and kippery ashes. Right, ashy kippers. It’s just that it’s very simple and at this point, you would think it’s barely five years old. With water: hello? Planet Earth? What happened? Sawdust, ashes, and a little salt. That’s not quite enough
timer Finish
medium, ashy, and sawdusty. Rather unpleasant
