Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
바랜 황금빛이 잔 속에서 맑게 빛난다. 1974년 아드벡이 17년을 보낸 이 프레스턴필드 보틀링은 해안의 연기와 시트러스, 마른 풀의 향을 천천히 솟아 올린다. 43도의 술이 입안을 부드럽게 적시며 훈제 레몬과 바닐라, 옅은 소금기가 잔잔히 감돈다. 오래된 아드벡 특유의 차분한 연기와 산뜻한 단맛이 길게 늘어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
the power is quite incredible for such a low degree of alcohol, while the style remains a bit rounder, even more pastry-like than other 1974s, which are much more peaty and on hydrocarbons. Maybe this is due to the use of sherry casks? But green Chartreuse quickly emerges from the wood, accompanied by seared scallops and even a bit of olive oil. Then we move on to much more typically Ardbeg notes, such as camphor, burnt tyres, and new inner tubes. Some Provençal herbs on the barbecue, especially thyme. Also orange zest
restaurant Palate
impressive after all these years, rich, almost a bit jammy, but camphor, cough syrup, tar, and a greasy smokiness are also part of the landscape. Some green walnuts, salt, sesame oil, olive oil, a very typical massage balm aspect... Then it moves towards more bitterness, like digestive liqueurs, for example. And then there's that slight rusticity that is quite typical too
timer Finish
really long, on sap, rubber, walnut liqueur... Then bitter orange marmalade and a bit of menthol
