Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1974년 증류 아드벡 특유의 짙은 피트와 그을린 가죽, 타르 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 18년 숙성을 거치며 트로피컬 과일과 망고, 라임 껍질이 발전해 옛 아드벡이 가진 균형감이 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 54.6도의 도수가 입안을 묵직하게 채우고 훈제 생선, 짠 미네랄, 백후추가 단단한 구조감을 만든다. 피니시는 짙은 피트와 약초, 가죽 노트가 길게 이어지며 깊게 머문다.

this is like coming home. Smoked bananas and tarry ropes, grapefruit liqueur, fresh concrete and old garage, fresh almonds and shoe polish… I don't think you can do much better as far as heavier peaters go. Wonderful austerity. With water: our dear chalky Sancerre, with a drop of tar liqueur poured in
restaurant Palate
totally huge and concentrated, almost too extreme. I am joking, that's like claiming that Tyson was too strong. Loads of bitter oranges, huge tarriness, the feeling of eating a new pair of boots, a ton of mint, licking new Pirellis… Well this was Ardbeg as in Ardbeg. With water: in the own words of Roy Liechtenstein, wham! Please call the Anti-Maltoporn Brigade before it is too late
timer Finish
what a coda. One of the tarriest there ever was
