Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 1978년 증류한 아드벡다운 타르와 짭조름한 연기, 잘 익은 과일 향이 강하게 인사한다. 잔을 흔들수록 오래된 오크의 꿀과 옅은 시트러스가 거친 피트를 둥글게 감싼다. 한 모금 삼키면 25년의 풍미가 훈제 소금과 다크초콜릿, 달큰한 과일로 혀를 덮고, 46도가 부드럽게 번진다. 목을 넘기면 묵은 연기와 바다 내음이 깊게 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it's an easier whisky than the 1966, with more fruits and herbs and less sooty/tarry notes. Typical good Ardbeg from the years when the output wasn't hugely peated, not too far from the well-known official 1978s, only with more kick. Quite some burning grass, apples and fresh walnuts... Then hints of clay and maybe touches of curry. No monster despite the coffin it was delivered in
restaurant Palate
starts relatively easy, almost smooth, but the peat blast is soon to happen. It's not very complex, but it's very complete (right, try again S.) with a sooty peatiness, fresh almonds, some lemon, green apples, touches of salt and a little pine resin. Gets rather more briny and kippery after that
timer Finish
it's long, saltier and more lemony. Almond and pine resin the the aftertaste
