Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남동부 킬도턴 만의 짙은 피트 보그와 거센 바닷바람이 아드벡 1974의 시작부터 끝까지 관통한다. 19년을 보낸 스카치 싱글 몰트 서클 보틀링은 옅은 호박빛이 잔에 머문다. 향은 짠 가죽, 흑요석 같은 피트 연기, 마른 해초, 트로피컬 과일의 옛 톤이 또렷이 드러난다. 55.1도 알코올은 강한 질감으로 입을 채우며 후추와 짠 연기, 망고 사탕을 펼친다. 여운은 짠 피트가 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
very grassy and malty attack, growing more and more herbal. Extremely strong, hard to enjoy neat. It gets a tad smoky with a few drops of water, with also quite some honey
restaurant Palate
very powerful attack, with some nice notes of spices and herbs beyond the sweetness that make me think of Oban. Some notes of fresh apricot. A good, kind of 'natural' one, too bad the finish gets just a little bitter. 82 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: better than both Keith Moon and Carmine Appice? If you like heavy percussions, perhaps you should have a go at the late Nigerian drummer Babatunde Olatunji doing Flirtation.mp3 (no mourvèdre in there ;-)) Please buy Babatunde's music - and support African music! (and Africa as a whole, while you're at it).
