Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
모레이 만 해안 포트소이 곁에 자리한 글렌글라사우의 1984년 증류, 15년산이다. 바닷가에 선 증류소답게 짭짤한 해풍이 캐릭터의 바탕을 이룬다. 스패니시 오크에서 숙성해 잔에는 붉은 마호가니빛이 어린다. 말린 무화과와 호두, 옅은 바다 소금기가 향에서 또렷이 드러나고 입에서는 진한 셰리 단맛 위로 가죽과 짠맛이 겹친다. 견과류와 소금기가 어우러진 여운이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
heavy-heavy sherry and heavy-heavy rubber, but not of the sulphurous kind. Also a lot of fresh putty, bitter oranges, gunpowder, burnt matches, tar and, well, rubber again (bicycle inner tube.) Spectacular in its own kind. Starts to develop more on kirschy notes after a moment, the ‘sherriness’ getting more evident. Blackcurrant buds plus quite some camphor and mint. Again, extremely concentrated
restaurant Palate
again, this is very heavy and very concentrated but still balanced in a certain way. Baskets of dried fruits (figs ahead, then prunes and dates), strawberry jam, orange marmalade… Gets then more on eucalyptus and mint (cough medicine), with also hints of tinned pineapples. Much less rubber on the palate – if any. Very good but you have to like heavily sherried whiskies
timer Finish
long but a little lighter than feared, with almondy notes (or stone fruits spirit.)
