Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 아드벡 1999의 진한 피트 연기와 시트러스가 또렷하게 두드러진다. 버번 캐스크에서 22년을 보낸 아일라 증류소답게 타르와 레몬, 바닐라가 명확하게 드러난다. 58도의 도수가 강하게 입을 채우며 훈연과 꿀, 짭조름한 미네랄이 진하게 깔린다. 두 번째 모금에서는 그을음의 깊이와 시트러스의 산미가 한층 분명해진다. 강건한 구조감이 단단하게 중심을 잡고, 피니시는 재 같은 스모크와 미네랄이 길고 깊게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s showing self-restraint and would rather talk branches and fresh nuts before a perfectly well-carved smokiness arises, very narrow, almost philosophical (frugality and stuff) and extremely ashy. It’s really plain peat smoke, as if we were in a working kiln, although a few berries would show off as well. Cranberries? With water: it’s the Ten, more or less, with just a little more profoundness. No complains, love the Ten
restaurant Palate
these sour fruits and this tar that scream Ardbeg. As if they had tried to smoke guavas. In the background, the usual tarry ropes and touches of tangerines. Smoked, naturally. It’s not complex, but that’s almost what you were expecting, something simple and perfect. With water: and bicycle inner tubes, lemons, samphires, and seaweed. Well, we’ve got a full team
timer Finish
medium, with the only descriptor that was missing, smoked fish. Very ashy aftertaste, with a little salt as well, and something medicinal (tincture of iodine). This time, we’ve really got a full team
