Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 올드 아드벡 특유의 타르와 옅은 훈연, 잘 익은 열대 과일이 차례로 두드러진다. 1974년에 증류해 23년을 채운 이 아일라 보틀링은 43도의 단정한 도수에서 강한 피트보다 묵은 과일과 왁스의 깊이가 또렷하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 부드럽게 입을 채우며 그을린 오크와 감귤, 은은한 소금기가 균형을 이룬다. 피니시는 옅은 연기와 마른 과일을 길게 남기며 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
starts very ‘funnily’, on ultra-big notes of both milk and white chocolate as well as vanilla pods. Huge cask influence it seems. We’re closer to grain whisky this time, even if there is a slight maltiness as well as hints of smoke and hot coffee. Very little flowery and/or fruity notes that I can get, contrarily to what happened with this one’s sister casks
restaurant Palate
ah, this is quite better, exactly between malt and grain whisky indeed. Vanilla, tinned bananas, cinnamon, milk chocolate, hints of mint, tea, the whole getting maybe a tad too tannic after a moment but more complex at the same time. Liquorice and marshmallows
timer Finish
rather long, a tad grainier at this stage
