Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈를 열면 폐쇄된 하이랜드 증류소다운 묵은 오크와 마른 곡물향이 가장 먼저 두드러지고 잘 익은 사과와 꿀의 단내가 깊게 발전한다. 28년 숙성의 팰럿은 캐러멜과 구운 견과, 옅은 시트러스가 매끄럽게 드러나며 원숙한 구조감을 보인다. 50도의 도수는 자극 없이 정돈되어 긴 숙성의 단맛과 오크를 부드럽게 받쳐 준다. 피니시는 옅은 오크 탄닌과 꿀, 마른 과일로 길게 이어지며, 1975년 증류된 글렌 모어가 지닌 사라진 시대의 정갈하고 깊은 풍미가 분명하게 정리된다.

Colour
straw
air Nose
starts very flowery, on nectar, yellow flowers from the fields (dandelions, buttercups etc.), with also some notes of beer, malt, dampened grains and whiffs of cold ashes, fireplace… Quite some marzipan, fresh almonds and hazelnuts, a little olive oil, paraffin, mashed potatoes, dairy cream… Getting then a little farmy (wet hay, wet clay). A very ‘natural’ expression, maybe a little austere - no make-up and no bling-bling, as almost always in this series. For aficionados only? Let’s see…
restaurant Palate
it’s bold and punchy but not pungent at all, with both an impressively enjoyable bitterness (it’s not that often that such bitterness is an asset) and a huge waxiness. Add to that a rather peaty feeling and something very herbal, vegetal (tea, apple and walnut skins) and quite some salt (even diet salt). What’s quite astonishing is the fact that it all blends nicely and… austerely, with a nice ‘compactness’. A very good surprise – I often have problems with Glen Mhor – even if this one is maybe a little too ‘intellectual’, and not only a matter of pure pleasure. 88 points.
