Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 28년의 시간이 응축된 짙은 호박빛이 잔 벽에 두꺼운 흔적을 남기며 흘러내린다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 디아지오 스페셜 릴리스 2003 특유의 잘 익은 자두와 가죽, 흑설탕의 향이 가장 먼저 들어선다. 한 모금을 머금으면 58.3도의 글렌 오드가 시가 박스와 다크 초콜릿으로 입천장을 묵직하게 덮는다. 하이랜드 북부의 단단한 캐릭터가 마른 향신료 잔향과 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
very different, this one, much more on caramel and milk chocolate as well as all kinds of caramelized nuts and cereals. Certainly simpler but very enjoyable, honeyed… I’m sure water will do it good. So, with water: gets a little wilder but also greenish, a little acrid, and the roundness disappeared. I was wrong
restaurant Palate
powerful and a little bitter at first sip but the caramel and vanilla are quick to take control, as well as quite some nuts (nuts always take control, err…), candied fruits (notably quinces)… Gets a bit hot after a moment, maybe water is needed this time: yes, it worked a little better here. More on smoked tea, orange marmalade and chamomile. The finish is probably the best part, better balanced, with the oakiness mingling with the caramel and soft spices (soft paprika?) A very good whisky, no doubt about that. 86 points . Glen Ord 28 yo (58.3%, OB, 2003)
