Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 황금빛이 잔 안쪽에 깊게 어린다. 1976년에 증류해 25년을 보낸 전설적인 아드벡답게 그을린 타르와 마른 해초, 잘 익은 열대 과일이 어우러진 향이 먼저 또렷하게 솟는다. 입에 머금으면 모닥불 연기와 졸인 과일, 짭조름한 재가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 50도의 힘이 단단히 받친다. 잔을 비운 뒤에도 피트와 소금, 오래된 오크의 깊은 여운이 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
this one starts on both some bold peat smoke and some milk chocolate. The peat is curiously much farmier than usual, and there are some very nice minty notes coming through. It gets then a bit yeasty (muesli, porridge, fresh bread). A very nice one, in any case
restaurant Palate
very bold and very powerful, with a sweet attack. It’s soon to get strangely mustardy, that is, and also a little burning. Some wasabi? Horseradish? Lots of peppery notes too… It’s quite a beast, that’s for sure. I’d say it lacks a little more balance to get really enjoyable. 84 points Ardbeg 25 yo 1976/2001 (50%, Silver Seal, 146 bottles)
