Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 마호가니가 잔 안쪽에 깊게 잠겨 있다. 1967년 아드벡이 엑스 셰리 캐스크에서 29년을 머문 거의 전설적인 시간이 향에 가득하다. 강한 피트 연기와 검은 무화과, 가죽, 잘 익은 자두가 차례로 깨어난다. 입에서는 52도의 두꺼운 알코올이 그릴드 베이컨과 다크 초콜릿, 짠 캐러멜을 풀어 놓는다. 1960년대 아드벡 거장 특유의 깊은 피트와 셰리의 합주가 마지막까지 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
Dark bronze
air Nose
One of the most beautiful marriages of perfect sherry and perfect peat. The kind of aroma that brings to mind root beer syrup, cola cubes, earthen floors and the cleanest of smoke, marzipan, a fatty, saline cured ham and a few smoked, crushed almonds. An ancient, salty, almost crusty palo cortado aroma with further notes of bacon, rancio, ancient balsamic, hessian, damp sack cloth and black olives in brine. With water: becomes almost bruisingly medical and phenolic. Deep, earthy, emphatic and kind of eternal. A rabbit hole of a whisky down which you’ll willingly wander and never emerge
restaurant Palate
A.S.T.O.N.I.S.H.I.N.G! This is pure, peated motor oil. Hessian, minerals, the most dense, syrupy and fat kind of peat and sherry combination. Meaty, farmy, darkly fruited, citrus rind, old herbs de Provence, prunes, plum sauce, wood and mulling spices, turmeric, black peppers, sarsaparilla. Did I mention astonishing? With water: soy sauce, treacle, tar, hessian... everything really. We’re kind of long past the anti-maltoporn brigade point here, besides, I don’t think they have a branch in Singapore. There are tannins too, the wood isn’t light, it’s just held in this kind of perfect, ephemeral balance with the mindboggling Ardbeg distillate
timer Finish
Endless and heartbreakingly superb. Like listening to Maggot Brain while suitably baked with your best friend
