Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서 가장 먼저 감지되는 것은 아드벡 특유의 강한 피트 연기와 타르, 훈제 향이다. 1994년 증류된 10년 몰트로, 카스크 스트렝스답게 아일라의 묵직한 스모크가 또렷하게 발전한다. 팰럿은 59.1도의 힘으로 그을린 연기와 후추, 옅은 시트러스가 묵직하게 입을 채우며 구조감이 단단하다. 피니시는 타르와 재 같은 연기가 길게 이어지며 아드벡다운 강렬하고 선명한 개성을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine (paler than the committee)
air Nose
it is not the same whisky as the earlier version, but rather beautiful it is. Big smoke and tar, then whiffs of wet wool and fresh walnuts, hints of struck matches and wee notes of cow stable as well as dried seaweed. Not the most complex Ardbeg ever but it’s beautifully austere and the smoke is big. With water: the kind of development that I enjoy a lot in fairly young Ardbegs, both mineral and even metallic and organic. Wet clay, oysters and the same kind of notes of green olives as in the committee release
restaurant Palate
oily mouth feel, the whole starting on a combination of lemon and peaty smokiness, closer to the committee release at this point. Grassy herbal tea. With water: oh this is funny, there are notes that we usually only get in older Ardbegs, such as some camphor and old style cough syrup. Gets sweeter after that, with notes of ripe apples and barley sugar
timer Finish
long, very ‘Ardbeg’, rather sweet and a little less smoky at this stage
