Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
첫 향은 짙은 피트 연기와 요오드, 바닷내음이 선명하게 이끈다. 1974년 증류해 24년을 보낸 아드벡답게 팰럿에서는 그을린 장작과 감초, 다크 초콜릿이 묵직하게 입을 채우며 51.3%의 힘이 구조를 단단히 받친다. 오랜 숙성이 더한 왁스 같은 질감이 강한 훈연을 부드럽게 감싼다. 피니시는 길고 기름지게 재와 소금기, 후추가 오래 남는다. 아일라 올드 보틀링의 깊이를 단적으로 보여 주는 구성이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
oh a funny sucrosity at very first sniffs, perhaps even hints of strawberry cream, but let's remember that may come with peat. Sometimes, when you're wandering around Port Ellen Maltings (we all do that, don't we), you do smell strawberry yoghurt. I have been told by some high-ranked officials that that was normal! In any case, this one's actually rather on smoked tea (lapsang), fern and moss, perhaps even pu-her, and just earth and beach sand. This baby keeps you waiting… With water: ha, those new electronics, plastic bags, brake pads and shoe polish! Plus green bananas at the fruit and vegetable department
restaurant Palate
pungent, lemony, austere, ultra-grassy, tarry, salty, really not easy. Very oily mouthfeel, in truth this is almost oil that's been burning for a few seconds in your frying pan. With water: a lot of spearmint now. That's lovely
timer Finish
very long, tight and indeed vertical. The tarriness gets bigger again, and even the aftertaste remains a little grassy and challenging, on green walnuts and their skins. Almonds too
