향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
잔을 흔들면 구스베리와 사과 향이 먼저 튀어나오지만 몇 초 뒤 농가풍의 이탄이 자리를 빼앗는다. 코를 더 넣으면 젖은 건초와 마른 다시마, 훈제한 찻잎이 이어지고 그 뒤에 훈제 햄 같은 고기 냄새가 어른거린다. 한 모금을 머금으면 향보다 마르고 엄격해, 허브와 후추, 풋내 나는 탄닌이 혀를 조인다. 삼키면 레몬과 자몽 껍질이 스치고 장뇌와 박하가 뒤늦게 올라온다.

wow, lots of oomph in there despite the relatively low A.B.V. It starts on lots of fresh fruits such as gooseberries and apples but some farmy kind of peat takes control after a few seconds. Lots of wet hay, dried kelp, muesli and yoghurt sauce, smoked tea, with something slightly meaty in the background (smoked ham). Hints of fresh mushrooms. Not extraordinarily complex but ‘pure Ardbeg’, with no sulphury tones

rather dry and austere now, much less fruity than expected (maybe apple peel) but still quite balanced. Lots of tea, herbs, spices, pepper, green tannins… Not exactly complex but enjoyable. Also lemon and grapefruit zest as often, the whole getting a little sweeter and a slightly camphory and minty after a few minutes. The finish is quite long, very ‘classically Ardbeg’. A good, unexpectedly full-bodied and drier (and less sweet) alternative to the 10 yo OB. 84 points . MUSIC AND WHISKY INTERVIEW LUC BREWAEYS It seems that several famous Belgians are ‘Lucs’, and that many of them like whisky! Whether that’s pure coincidence or not, I don’t know, but the fact that one of them, Luc Brewaeys , composed music pieces such as ‘Oban’, ‘Talisker’, ‘Knockando’, ‘Bowmore’ (a String Quartet) or ‘Laphroaig’ (a symphony) is very troubling indeed… ‘Talisker’, for instance, was composed in 1993 for the opening day of ‘Antwerp Cultural Capital of Europe’, and no less than 24,000 people attended the four ‘premieres’! Add to that the fact that Luc also worked on pieces by Frank Zappa and you’ll easily understand why I needed to interview him quite desperately… Whiskyfun: Luc, tell us briefly about what you do, music-wise. Luc Brewaeys: I’m a “modern-classical” composer. WF: And which other musicians are you playing with? Luc: I used to play the piano, but now I do not play anymore. I do -however- conduct regularly, the Ensemble Champ d’Action (Antwerp, Belgium) for new music, the Bulgarian Radio Orchestra and the Czech Chamber Philharmonic among others. WF: Which are your other favourite artists? Luc: Many colleague composers, such as Pierre Boulez, Jonathan Harvey or Steve Reich. WF: Which are your current projects? Luc: Right now I am composing a one-act-opera for the Royal National Opera “La Monnaie / De Munt” in Brussels (Belgium). WF: When did you start enjoying whisk(e)y? Are there any musical memories you particularly associate with that moment? Luc: I composed up to now five
