Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밝은 볏짚빛이 잔 속에서 맑게 흔들린다. 1990년 아일라 아드벡이 10년을 채운 이 보틀링은 타르와 그을린 레몬, 젖은 이탄의 향을 거침없이 피워 올린다. 46도의 도수가 검은 후추와 훈제 소금, 풋과일의 산미를 혀 위에 또렷이 새기고 옅은 바닐라가 균형을 더한다. 바닷가 모닥불을 닮은 연기의 여운이 매캐하면서도 산뜻하게 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine. It’s getting paler and paler year after year
air Nose
rather pungent and peaty at first nosing, briny and almondy, with also a little butter and hints of pineapple sweets. Also hints of dill and carrot tops, roots, gentian and earth. Calms down after a few seconds although it becomes smokier (exhaust fumes). Globally dry and with little fruitiness apart from the faint estery notes at first nosing (pineapples). I like this nose!
restaurant Palate
sweet and earthy start, extremely close to what the nose delivered. It’s not immensely smoky, rather ashy for a while… Until the peat gradually takes over, that is. A saltiness and more and more smokiness, liquorice wood, maybe hints of cumin, ginger… And gin? Only touches of lemon. I think the Ten becomes more and more dry and less and less fruity but I must say I enjoy this kind of profile quite a lot, so I won’t complain
timer Finish
long and saltier. Anchovies?
