Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
전설적인 1969년 빈티지의 올드 아드벡으로, 노즈에서는 부드러운 훈연과 레몬, 옅은 타르 향이 복합적으로 드러난다. 10년 숙성과 40도의 절제된 도수가 더해져 팰럿은 잿내와 후추, 시트러스가 또렷하게 발전한다. 현대의 아드벡과는 다른 고전적이고 우아한 피트가 인상적이다. 피니시는 그을린 훈연과 소금기, 미네랄의 잔향이 길게 이어지며 단정하게 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine, but slightly darker than the new Ten
air Nose
completely different, much more on benzine, petroly riesling, flints and chalk, some proper chardonnay as well, fresh putty, a little salted caramel, husk, roots (celeriac)… There sure is some 'peat', but it's been digested, so to speak
restaurant Palate
we're much closer to the new one, much, much closer, with almost as many ashes, lapsang souchong, tar, smoke, bitter almonds, lime, seashells… It's really fascinating that all this 'peat' wouldn't have decomposed into various fruits, especially tropical ones, which usually happens with most other Islayers, especially Laphroaig. Indeed, even in glass!
timer Finish
pretty long and only marginally sweeter. Bitter beers, orange cordials, salty vegetables, and a very ashy aftertaste that 'sticks your tongue to your palate'
