Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 아일라 아드벡 특유의 짙은 훈연과 타르 향이 가장 먼저 인사한다. 잔을 흔들어 향을 깨우면 리필 호그스헤드에서 26년을 보낸 세월이 그을음을 다듬어 레몬과 바닐라, 바다 소금 향을 끌어올린다. 47.2도의 한 모금을 혀에 올리면 잘 익은 피트 위로 후추와 다크 초콜릿, 옅은 감초가 또렷하게 번진다. 천천히 삼키면 모닥불 재와 미네랄이 뒤섞여 입안 깊이 내려앉는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
I find it very unusual, very grassy and sour, almost on sauce béarnaise at first (tarragon, chervil, shallot, butter) but the expected hessian, tar and just seawater are soon to take over. Now some kind of curry-mayonnaise-y notes remain there while crabs and langoustines are approaching too. I love this, a lot of action and difference. The salt of life
restaurant Palate
it is really very singular. More tangerines and even litchis, with a kind of fake softness (you would believe it's soft at times but it kicks you back) then some kind of tarry mustard. Wondering whether some kind of *** chef hasn't been working on this hogshead. Heston Blumenthal?
timer Finish
medium to long, always with this funny smoky mustard. Shallots in the aftertaste. Quite
