Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
하일랜드 테인의 서늘한 공기와 가장 키 큰 증류기가 글렌모렌지의 매끄러운 우아함을 빚어낸다. 1972년 아메리칸 오크에서 22년을 보낸 이 싱글 배럴 빈티지는 밝은 골드빛이다. 코에는 크리미한 카라멜과 커피, 밀크 초콜릿에 갓 구운 브리오슈가 부드럽게 겹친다. 입에서는 46도의 두껍고 오일리한 질감 위로 꿀과 카라멜, 설탕에 절인 과일의 단맛이 퍼진다. 여운은 크리미한 단맛과 은은한 향신료가 원만하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
ultra-smooth, creamy, caramelly and certainly not winey. Notes of coffee, milk chocolate, hot brioche, faint smokiness, faint hints of mint, hot praline, slight beefiness... Simple pleasures, certainly well crafted. Quite ‘round’, with nothing sticking out but again, it’s perfect in its own style. I think it’s nicer than the previous version anyway
restaurant Palate
very thick, very creamy, fat and oily, sweet but not cloying at all, all on honey, caramel, brioche, crystallised fruits and candy sugar. The huge sweetness is maybe a bit too much but other than that, balanced is achieved. I wouldn’t call this a lab whisky but again, it’s perfectly well crafted. Not sure it’s Single Malt Scotch Whisky but after all, who cares? (Why not be cynic and blasé too from time to time?) We had the previous Glenmo ‘sherry’ at only 72 points but we’re ready to go as far as 79 points here. Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban (46%, OB, Port finish, 2007)
