Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔 안에 맑게 비친다. 1978년에 증류된 아드벡의 17년 원액은, 향에서 짙은 토탄 연기와 타르, 레몬의 산뜻함을 강렬하게 피워 올린다. 52.2도의 입은 입안을 기름지게 감싸며 그을린 보리와 후추, 바다 내음을 머금는다. 옛 아드벡 특유의 묵직한 연기와 의외의 달큰함이 함께 어우러진다. 여운에는 토탄과 광물의 뉘앙스가 길고 강하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
as simple as 1+1, almost elementary, and yet immediately appealing. I’m finding it very pure, very obvious in the best way, with a little lemon and custard, and then an ashy/coastal smokiness mixed with raw malt and, indeed, some kelp. A thin nose, yet a great nose. With water: fresh bread and a gingery smoke
restaurant Palate
very different, there’s perhaps a little too much spicy oak for me in the arrival. A little too much caraway, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves for Ardbeg, at times it feels like some two-year-old American craft whiskey, really. Not that it’s bad, quite the opposite, it’s just kind of lost lost a wee chunk of the brand’s DNA, as they say in London. With water: rather better, water brings out more Ardbegness
timer Finish
better, fresher, lemony, smoky, rather gentle. Very nice spicy grapefruits in the aftertaste, as well as more spicy tannins again
