Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 한 차례 흔들면 1995년 빈티지의 짙은 황금빛이 잔 안쪽 벽을 매끄럽게 미끄러진다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 퍼스트필 버번 호그스헤드가 빚어낸 바닐라, 코코넛, 다크 초콜릿의 향이 가장 먼저 들이친다. 한 모금을 머금으면 13년 숙성과 56.9도가 만들어낸 캐러멜과 잘 익은 체리가 입천장을 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 글렌모렌지의 우아한 깊이가 마른 오크 잔향과 길게 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)
