Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래 묵은 황금빛이 잔 속에 그윽하게 번진다. 아일라의 전설 아드벡이 1966년에 증류해 26년을 보낸 이 희귀한 위스키는 잦아든 훈연과 열대 과일, 흙내음의 향을 깊게 풀어놓는다. 50.5도의 매끄러운 질감이 혀를 감싸며 그을린 단맛과 잘 익은 과실, 옅은 타르를 그려낸다. 반세기 전 증류된 아드벡답게 마무리는 은은한 연기와 오크로 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s much, much straighter than the 1993, much better focused, and wonderfully medicinal and, well, straight. Camphor, smoke, pink grapefruits. Little OBE this time, you could think this was bottled yesterday. Wee whiffs of old style perfume, old mink coat, these whiffs of fern that we like so much, and then plasticine, broken branches, and carbon paper. Typically Ardbeg. With water: ashes everywhere, plus some distant beach bonfire. Burning kelp. A few whelks, perhaps
restaurant Palate
a very simple arrival, but it’s the kind of simplicity that’s just thrilling. Plasticine-y balm, lemon, smoked fish, and basta. Elementary yet superb. With water: pure Ardbegness, actually hard to describe. A mixture involving plasticine and crushed kippers and charcoal with drops of lemon juice, perhaps?
timer Finish
medium to long, saltier, juicier. Smoked pink grapefruit juice, kippers, almond oil. Zestier aftertaste
