Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 호그스헤드에서 26년을 보낸 옅은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 부드럽게 출렁인다. 코를 가져가면 1974년산 아드벡 특유의 진한 피트 스모크와 트로피컬 과일이 동시에 떠오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 50 도수의 절제된 무게가 혀를 매끈하게 덮는다. 망고와 옅은 가죽, 짭조름한 미네랄이 차례로 따라온다. 삼킨 뒤에는 오래된 피트와 우드가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
starts on bold notes of green walnut and cider apples, with also hints of shoe polish and warm butter, and develops more on linseed oil, dried apricots and mangos as well as hints of old leather and Virginia tobacco. Gets more resinous after that (pine needles, retsina). Also notes of vines and fir cone ash, used matches... Very elegant and complex, not a wham-bam 1974 Ardbeg
restaurant Palate
starts unexpectedly soft (vanilla, buttered fudge) but gets then very peppery. ‘Explodes’ on ginseng, gentian roots tea and dried mushrooms, with a beautiful bitterness
timer Finish
medium to long, more on oily peat and ashes, with touches of dark chocolate and quite some salt
