Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔 안에 옅은 호박빛이 또렷이 깃든다. 1987년 증류된 글렌터릿이 리필 호그스헤드에서 서른 해를 보낸 더글라스 레잉의 XOP 보틀링이다. 코끝에는 묵은 꿀과 잘 익은 사과, 옅은 견과 향이 깔끔하게 풀린다. 입에서는 카라멜라이즈드 견과와 후추, 잘 익은 배가 매끄럽게 흐르고 45.3도의 부드러운 도수가 균형을 잡는다. 여운에는 옅은 꿀과 오크가 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold (I had thought it would be darker)
air Nose
I'm deeply sorry, and I hope I won't spot a black Mercedes with four Albanian henchmen inside soon in front of Château Whiskyfun, but I would have said Macallan, really. Say the old 30 blue-label-blue-box. What a nose. Honeys, hit apples (I'll explain what that is another day), old cigars, small figs, honeycomb, very soft spices (nothing to do with the younger quasi-monsters), wee whiffs of church incense, quite a lot of gianduja, roasted pistachio… it really is a perfect nose, very complex and subtle. Way less rustic than older 'old' Glenturrets if you ask me
restaurant Palate
certainly. I'm glad the peppers, cinnamon and turmeric would be back, while some awesome tropical touches would keep growing in your glass (in a way), mangos, maracuja… Also some Canadian ice cider and possibly riesling vendanges tardives. Those are not easy to find but the best ones are ueber-stellar
timer Finish
medium, pretty fresh and complex. I'm afraid I'll quote that famous brand starting with Mac once more. Juicy golden sultanas in the aftertaste
