Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔에 잔잔히 깔린다. 폐쇄 이전 시대의 옛 아드벡은 18년을 보내며 타르와 모닥불 연기, 바다 소금의 묵직한 향을 겹겹이 풀어놓는다. 입안에서는 훈연한 보리와 옅은 요오드, 감초의 깊은 풍미가 단단하게 번진다. 1974년 빈티지답게 거친 피트가 시간 속에서 둥글게 익었고, 43도의 도수가 연기와 단맛을 부드럽게 감싼다. 타르와 바다 내음의 여운이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
even at 43%, this immense power of 70s Ardbeg comes through. A stunning mix of fusel oils, pure tar extracts, hessian and a deep, rather sweetish and highly medicinal-tinged peat smoke. Wonderfully dense and aromatic with iodine, dunnage warehouse and heavy camphor all emerging. This is all without even mentioning the sherry, which is really beautifully integrated to the point that you almost don’t notice it, although it is certainly there adding wonderful salty and earthy notes beneath all that stunning peat smoke
restaurant Palate
huge whisky for 43%! Stunningly dry, earthy and tarry peat, full of textural, slightly grubby smoky qualities, black pepper, iodine drops, old rope and oily hessian cloth impressions. I also find many medicinal roots and herbs such as gentian, wormwood and verbena. Also deeply earthy aged black teas. A deceptively complex and hypnotic whisky, even though the dominant impression is of a highly singular, perfect fusion of sherry and peat into one profile
timer Finish
stunningly long, pristinely salty, herbal, bitter, drying, earthy and immensely rich with thick peat smoke, black pepper and yet more of these wonderfully tarry rope and camphor notes
