향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
퍼스트필 버번 배럴에서 18년을 보낸 숙성이 아드벡의 강렬한 피트에 바닐라의 단맛을 더해 균형을 잡았다. 향에서는 매캐한 훈연과 레몬, 타르 같은 피트가 거세게 올라온다. 56.6도의 도수가 입을 단단히 채우며 꿀과 시트러스, 짙은 연기가 묵직하게 번진다. 맑은 금빛을 지나, 여운에는 아일라 특유의 탄내와 달큰한 바닐라가 길고 강하게 남는다.

very interesting at first nosing, with distinct winey notes but this time they mingle rather pleasantly with the whisky, especially with the lemony notes that we already found in the 1981. Quite some wood smoke, toasted cake, spices (cloves and soft paprika) and very nice whiffs of wet wood. The white St. Joseph really shines trough here, which makes this malt very interesting to wine aficionados (white St. Josephs are usually big whites.) This works so far. With water: it still works. Hints of soot

it is hugely vinous and hugely lemony as well, the whole working like kind of an excellent pre-mix if you like. It’s funny how these lemony notes that we already found in the 1981 work well with the St. Joseph (very obvious notes of marsanne, the main grape variety there in the northern Rhône valley.) It’s to be wondered if these white Hermitage / Crozes / St. Jospeh casks wouldn’t work very well with Rosebank as well. Anyway, enough winey ramblings, let’s try it with water now. With water: it’s interesting to witness to which extent the spirit wins here (even if it’s in no way a wine vs. whisky fight.) Very good
