Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔 안에 또렷이 비친다. 1990년 증류해 11년을 보낸 이 아드벡은 아일라 남단의 강렬한 피트가 타르와 요오드, 짭조름한 훈연으로 거침없이 솟아오른다. 55도의 한 모금은 재와 후추, 옅은 레몬이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 젊은 아드벡 특유의 날선 생기가 살아 있다. 여운은 식어가는 모닥불과 바닷소금으로 길고 강하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
less fresh coastal notes and less lemon, more motor oil and medicinal notes, such as tincture of iodine, mercurochrome, antiseptic… The smoke is more massive too, there’s also a little damp cardboard, coal, burnt fir cones, then more and more pine resin… And a large garden bonfire. Also apple peelings. With water: same, really. Okay, maybe more iodine, fumes… and some intriguing touches of cranberries and mangos arising
restaurant Palate
much more ‘classic’ than the G&M, that is to say sweeter, with the lemons and grapefruits in the front and the smoky stuff rather in the background. I mean smoked salmon, kippers and such. Much to my liking. With water: perfect, just perfect. Pepper, lemon, peated barley, green olives, kippers and basta. That isn’t much but balance is achieved
timer Finish
very long, brinier. Smoky/ashy aftertaste
