Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
타르와 그을린 장작 향이 노즈에서 가장 먼저 존재감을 드러낸다. 1976년 증류해 25년을 보낸 아드벡답게 거친 피트가 세월에 익어 짙은 훈연과 함께 펼쳐진다. 팰럿에서는 검은 후추와 감초, 잘 익은 열대 과일이 50도의 무게로 발전한다. 오래 묵은 아드벡 특유의 기름진 질감이 단단하며, 피니시는 재와 정향이 길게 이어진다.
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)
