Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
붉은빛이 감도는 호박색이 잔에 곱게 어린다. 하일랜드 글렌모렌지를 18년 숙성하고 보르도 마고 와인 캐스크에서 마무리한 이 보틀링은 코끝에 붉은 베리와 장미, 잘 익은 자두의 향을 우아하게 풀어낸다. 46도의 매끄러운 질감이 혀를 감싸며 와인이 남긴 새콤한 과실과 꿀, 옅은 향신료가 어우러진다. 끝에는 베리의 단맛과 오크의 온기가 길게 남아 글렌모렌지다운 섬세한 와인 피니시를 전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
salmony (aaargh)
air Nose
again, not as winey as feared. Sure there are quite some blackcurrants, peonies and raspberries but this winesky is well made. Not my cup of malt at all but well made. Okay, let’s not spend too much time on this one
restaurant Palate
immensely sugary, fruity and winey. And fat. And frankly too much. Raspberry syrup
timer Finish
long but really too much for my tastes. Another premix? Not my profile at all. From 72 points for the older version to... 72 points for this new one, even if it’s more, err, ‘concentrated’ – to say the least. Glenmorangie Nectar d’Or (46%, OB, Sauternes finish, 2007) Exit Madeira and Burgundy, here’s a Sauternes finish. It’s not impossible that new owners LVMH provide the distillery with their own empty Sauternes casks (yes, it’s Sauternes with an s at the end. Sauterne is a pale copy made in America, or a frequent misspelling done by some of our Scottish friends. Well, I do it myself sometimes, but not on labels, eh!)
