Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드의 글렌 엘긴이 유러피언 오크에서 열여섯 해를 보낸 2008년 스페셜 릴리스는 잔에 짙은 호박빛을 드리운다. 향은 건포도와 잘 익은 자두, 흑설탕의 진한 셰리 내음이 솟아오른다. 58.5도의 입안은 토피와 말린 무화과, 정향의 단맛이 묵직하게 번진다. 유러피언 오크가 입힌 깊고 스파이시한 결이 돋보이며, 여운에는 견과와 가죽의 따뜻함이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
once again, we’re very ‘Glen Elgin’, which was to be expected as this one is an official version. Again quite some dark beer, Guinness, maybe a little more meat (bbq’ed beef), graphite oil, grass, corn syrup, malt, tar and smoke… With water: more smoke, struck matches and more tar. Sulphur? Maybe, a little… More grilled meat as well
restaurant Palate
same! A glass of Guinness with a little candy sugar and two lemon slices. Make that three. With water: excellent, more honeyed, just as malty and rather cotrusy once again, but more on oranges than on lemon this time
timer Finish
long, with a lasting creaminess. Orange liqueur and cane sugar syrup. Some kind of tannicity in the aftertaste
