Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 돌리면 1988년 글렌버기의 시간이 옅은 호박빛으로 잔 벽을 따라 미끄러진다. 코끝에 가져가면 리필 호그스헤드에서 35년을 보낸 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 마른 보리의 향이 차례로 다가온다. 한 모금을 머금으면 46도의 부드러운 풍미가 입천장을 가볍게 적시며 바닐라와 시나몬, 옅은 백단을 풀어놓는다. 삼키면 스페이사이드 특유의 단정한 잔향이 또렷이 깃든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
this one is really mutli-layered. Starts on honey and pollen, gets then sort of smoky (barbecue), then very grassy and even a little acrid, and finally quite meaty (sausages, ham, tallow). Also notes of cabbage and asparagus. It’s moving to try such an old whisky but frankly, this time it’s not really a thrill. Too grassy a malt for me, even if it gets very almondy after a while, which I usually like
restaurant Palate
the attack is good, on walnuts and resin but then there’s something strange that happens. It gets rough, ‘green’, curiously papery and beefy at the same time... Not sure there wasn’t a flaw originally, a flaw that mingled with the rest through the years but not quite. Nails? Too bad, some aspects of this one are very nice, especially the mint and liquorice
timer Finish
long, very minty now, with the flawed parts having vanished a bit. Not unlike when you just had a handful of mint drops
