Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 금빛이 잔에 은은하게 감돈다. 하이랜드의 글렌모렌지를 1972년 증류해 아메리칸 오크에서 키운 뒤 1991년에 병입한 21년산은, 코끝에 크리미한 카라멜과 커피, 밀크 초콜릿과 갓 구운 브리오슈의 달콤한 향이 감돈다. 46도의 매끄러운 한 모금은 기름진 질감 위로 꿀과 카라멜, 설탕에 절인 과일의 단맛이 혀를 가득 채운다. 오래 숙성한 원액다운 둥근 결이 흐르고, 여운은 달큼한 카라멜과 은은한 단내가 오래 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)
