Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
연한 볏짚빛이 잔 속에 맑게 고인다. 스물여덟 해를 보낸 글렌모렌지는 카라멜과 익힌 버터, 바닐라 위로 마른 풀과 건초, 옅은 피트와 고무 같은 향이 겹쳐 예상 밖의 복합미를 낸다. 한 모금 머금으면 감초와 제비꽃 사탕, 진한 커피의 결이 매끄럽게 번지고 56.7도의 힘이 또렷한 구조를 세운다. 하이랜드 노장의 여운은 감초와 마른 오크를 길게 남기며 다소 쌉쌀하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
powerful and youthful, starting on caramel, cooked butter and vanilla. It’s soon to get very grassy, vase water, hay. Whiffs of peat and rubber – the latter growing stronger and stronger. It gets very farmy at the same time, and then develops on lavender perfume, before it goes back to cooked butter and stays there. Nice, and much more complex than expected!
restaurant Palate
a very sweet, yet powerful attack, but it’s soon to get spirity, malty and grassy again, with lots of liquorice and cold infused tealeaves. Violet sweets, toffee, liquorice stick, cold strong coffee. Perhaps it lacks some complexity now, but I guess that isn’t the main purpose of a 10 yo malt bottled at 100 (UK) proof. The finish is long and bold, getting a little too bitter. I still like this now discontinued malt, hence my very good rating: 85 points . Glenmorangie ‘Traditional’ (57.2%, OB, circa 2004)
