Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 은은하게 빛난다. 리필 호그스헤드에서 21년을 보낸 글렌키스 1996은 잘 익은 멜론과 보리 사탕, 바닐라의 향이 부드럽게 떠오른다. 51.5도의 도수가 입안에서 복숭아와 꿀, 옅은 시트러스의 풍미로 산뜻하게 번지며 스페이사이드 몰트다운 깔끔한 과실감을 드러낸다. 오랜 숙성이 더한 은은한 오크가 균형을 잡고 여운은 달큰한 과실의 단맛이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
I’ve never been this glad to welcome raisins and sweet wine to a tasting session. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a sherry bomb at all, but we’re really back on cakes, scones, kougelhopf, baked raisins, sweet wine (okay, PX if you like)… Actually, I’d even dare mentioning Mars bars (a Scottish trauma, I know). Nice nose. With water:
restaurant Palate
very good! We’re somehow within the style of the official 21, only with more power. Rum and raisins, caramel sauce, praline, butterscotch, turon, malty bread, a little chalk, caramelised pecans (pure slaughter, as we say)… I believe the tight, zesty style of this distillate combines very well with self-restrained sherry, really. This is proof, tremendously (didn’t we say we’d now stop using this vocabulary, S.?)
timer Finish
rather long, on liquid Mars bar, maple syrup, coffee extract, walnut cake, roasted nuts… It really was a good butt. Great grassiness and lime juice in the aftertaste
