Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 로우랜드의 글렌킨치가 맑은 황금빛으로 흔들린다. 코끝으로 가져가면 새로 그을린 호그스헤드가 남긴 잘 익은 배와 바닐라, 갓 벤 풀 향이 부드럽게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 50.6도가 둥글게 퍼지며 시트러스와 꿀, 가벼운 향신료가 번진다. 16년을 보낸 로우랜드 원액답게 가볍고 화사한 결이 또렷하다. 천천히 삼키면 잘 익은 과일과 꿀이 입안에 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
totally the 12, only at the power of two. That means more vanilla, more sawdust, more bread dough, more croissants, more popcorn, to which you would add quite some medicinal notes, which are coming unexpected. In the style of Vicks VapoRub. With water: water works greatly. Mint-filled pastries of some sorts and a whole panettone. I utterly adore good fresh panettone - I just wanted to get that on the record
restaurant Palate
pretty heavy on the oak, as if this was some young malt by some new ‘craft’ distillers. Feels boosted, oaked-up, but not unpleasantly so, it’s just very ‘modern’. Whether Glenkinchie’s distillate is big enough to stand such treatment is to be seen… once water’s been added. With water: no, we’re okay, sure the oak is loud and the spirit a little weak, but this has been composed with care. Nutshell: it is not just oak juice
timer Finish
quite long, tea-ish, oaky
