Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
깊은 구릿빛 호박색이 잔에 그윽하게 어린다. 글렌 게리오크 12년은 43도의 결이 빚어낸 놀라운 복합미를 보여 준다. 오래된 귀부 와인과 팔로 코르타도, 묵은 책과 시가 상자, 솔방울 연기와 향나무의 향이 천천히 피어오른다. 입안은 리치와 작은 바나나, 석류와 야생 딸기의 열대 과일이 검은 담배와 차, 다크 초콜릿의 연기로 옮겨 간다. 여운은 제법 길게 이어지며 커피와 초콜릿, 묵은 셰리와 시가의 잔향이 깊게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
golden bronze-ish/copperish amber (what?)
air Nose
whilst 40% are often too weak, 43% sometimes work beautifully and this is a clear example. 100-year-old Yquem, precious palo-cortado (I remember some crazy old decanters by Barbadillo), box of old Cuban cigars, 'old Jag', old books, dark pollen, metal polish, pinecone smoke, balsa wood and incense sticks, tiny white pineapples (the name escapes me), dried bananas… This is really funny; it tends to move towards fab old rums. Very old agricoles?
restaurant Palate
this is so totally funny and unusual! There's a very specific mix of tropical fruits, for example, these tiny litchis, small bananas, pomegranates for sure, wild strawberries (and the liqueur made thereof)… and then off to smokier pastures, with black tobacco, black tea, raw chocolate, even grilled beef, all that with a tiny bit of violet sweet in the background. But not that one
timer Finish
almost long, rather more on coffee and chocolate, with more old sherries and walnut wines and cigars and… Well, it's time we called the Anti-Maltoporn Brigade, don't you think. I'll still mention some wild strawberries making sheep's eyes in the aftertaste – with a wink
