Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에 옅은 황금빛이 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 1972년 아드벡 고든 앤 맥페일 코노시어스 초이스 13년은 클로즈된 옛 아드벡의 절제된 피트를 40도의 부드러운 도수로 풀어낸다. 향은 옅은 해풍과 마른 풀잎, 약한 훈연이 또렷이 머문다. 입에서는 가벼운 보디 위로 시트러스 껍질과 짭조름한 미네랄, 검은 후추가 잔잔히 드러난다. 여운은 옛 아일라의 흙냄새와 어린 보리의 잔향이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold

it's obvious that it was a mistake to have this as the apéritif. These drops remind us why some became fans of Ardbeg, some way before a certain 'writer' started to promote the freshly bought brand as if there were no tomorrow, in the mid to late 1990s. This has strictly nothing to do with any recent Ardbeg, NAS or not, be it natural or pumped-up with woods or wines, even if we keep writing that 'Ardbeg will always be Ardbeg', which is true in a way. But let's build a short list of aromas, let's say old coal tar, old hessian bags, dunnage, those famous tarry ropes, almond paste (an important member of the choir), bicycle inner tube, overripe apples rather than citrus, old engine oils, benzine, then all things sea fruit, from whelks to oysters. I'd even quote sea urchins, and certainly kelp
restaurant Palate
incredible feeling of peat-smoked fruit paste (quince, pear) and just an avalanche of tarry notes, in all their guises. And some citrus this time
timer Finish
surprising long and rather on camphor, ointments, seawater and smoked oysters. Ashy quince jelly in the aftertaste
