Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔에 두텁게 펼쳐지며 묵직한 윤을 남긴다. 글렌 엘긴이 셰리 캐스크에서 15년 숙성으로 1988년 매니저스 드램으로 풀려난 이 보틀링은 잘 익은 무화과와 헤이즐넛, 옅은 가죽과 마른 정향의 따스한 향이 한꺼번에 솟구친다. 한 모금에 60.2도의 묵직한 캐스크 스트렝스가 흑설탕 토피와 캐러멜라이즈된 오렌지, 시나몬의 매운 단맛을 거침없이 끌어온다. 디스틸러리 매니저의 사인이 깃든 잔향이 깊고 강렬하게 식어간다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
oh sugar! This is emphatically sherried, totally avalanchesque and amazingly rich... And yet it's clean and straightforward, compact, focussed... Excuse me? Well, that would be chocolate ganache, cigars, old balsamico and glazed chestnuts. With water: absolutely superb. Orangettes and black chocolate with a few drops of truffle oil and very, very old balsamic vinegar and just a little pitch
restaurant Palate
BANG! It's as oily as oil (need a spoon), yet kind of silky and very elegant, with tons of bitter chocolate and some kind of salmiaky tobacco. You can't make much heavier than this, and yet it's not stuffing at all. Mysterious and amazing. With water: perfect, just perfect. Bitter oranges, chocolate, also more prunes this time, some liquorice, a wee touch of salt
timer Finish
extremely long and now slightly herbal to 'lift' it, which makes it even more perfect. A tad Jaegery in the aftertaste, which works very well. Peppermint
