Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 아드벡 특유의 짙은 피트 스모크와 잘 익은 레몬껍질, 짭조름한 해풍이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 1975년 증류한 아드벡 원액을 고든앤맥페일이 13년간 묵힌 시간이 팰럿에서 또렷이 드러나는데 농축된 훈연과 미네랄, 옅은 시트러스가 54.2도의 알코올과 단단한 구조감으로 발전한다. 피니시에는 백후추와 따뜻한 송진 노트가 길게 이어진다. 1970년대 아드벡 황금기 특유의 거친 정통성이 명확하게 드러나는 보틀이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
extremely mashy and farmy, porridgy, almost cheesy… Very organic, to say the least. Goes on of peppered yoghurt (wazzat?), all kinds of herbs, then bunches of various spices such as black pepper and green curry, and of course wet dog. One of the wildest and most organic Ardbegs I could taste
restaurant Palate
sweeter but very peppery, yeasty, hugely spicy and kind of ‘natural’. Lots of porridge again, soaked grains, oatcake, smoked trout, rollmops, green pepper… The peat is rather huge and very, very farmy just like on the nose. Not maritime at all. The finish is very long, just as peaty, peppery and porridgy, the whole being maybe a little ‘youngish’. I’m on the side of the people who think that Ardbeg needs time to get truly great (and God knows it does when it’s fully mature!) 87 points , still, much higher than when I first had it (never published those notes). Ardbeg 13 yo 1975/1988 (54.2%, Gordon & MacPhail for Intertrade, sherry wood)
