Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1974 빈티지 아드벡 특유의 잘 익은 트로피컬 과일과 오래 숙성된 피트의 부드러운 연기가 먼저 드러난다. 23년의 긴 숙성답게 팰럿은 망고와 파파야, 그 아래 깔린 흙내음 피트가 층층이 발전하며 43도의 절제된 도수가 우아한 균형을 잡는다. 아일라 아드벡의 옛 빈티지다운 깊고 복합적인 과일감이 인상적이고, 시그나토리가 고른 이 보틀링의 피니시는 은은한 스모크와 시트러스, 오크가 길게 이어진다.
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
