Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남쪽 킬달턴 해안의 거친 토탄 늪지와 짠 바닷바람이 1972 빈티지 아드벡 28년 숙성을 처음부터 끝까지 관통한다. 잔에는 옅은 황금빛이 비친다. 향에는 아드벡 특유의 강렬한 토탄 연기와 굴 껍데기 광물성, 잘 익은 레몬이 또렷이 드러나고 입에서는 49.2도의 도수가 짠 바닷내와 후추, 가벼운 훈연을 단단하게 풀어낸다. 여운에는 토탄의 매캐함이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
the purity of those years! It is, or rather was, much more medicinal than modern Ardbegs, though not in the Laphroaig sense. Essentially, it's more tarry ointments rather than mercurochrome and bandages. The rest unfolds with new tyres à la Port Ellen, shellfish à la Caol Ila, engine oil and rubber à la Lagavulin, and smoked oysters à la Bowmore. Sorry, but no exotic fruits of any kind
restaurant Palate
entirely on tar, bitter almonds, and a bit of burnt rubber. I had forgotten just how brutal and massive these Ardbegs could be, even at a relatively modest strength like this. Harsh ash, salted lemon liqueur, tars, forgotten balms (can't remember which ones), olive oil... In fact, these Ardbegs were really more about the whole experience rather than a sequence of aromas and flavours. In short, they were Ardbegs
timer Finish
sublimely Ardbeg. An incredible balance of pine resin, rubber, salt, smoke, lemon, and lapsang souchong. A tiny hint of passion fruit right at the end
