Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈의 첫 신호는 마른 풀과 잘 익은 배, 가벼운 꿀의 향이다. 1966년에 증류된 글렌킨치는 1979년 캐든헤드 덤피 보틀링으로, 13년이라는 비교적 짧은 숙성이 로우랜드 라이트 보디 캐릭터의 청결함을 또렷이 보존했다. 팰럿은 꿀, 흰후추, 마른 허브가 발전한다. 45.7도의 알코올은 둥글게 입을 안으며 구조감이 단정하다. 피니시는 가벼운 오크와 흰꽃 잔향이 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
unexpectedly aromatic, starting all on dried herbs and flowers. Potpourri, lime-blossom tea, patchouli, then eucalyptus leaves, camphor (a little), banana skin… Gets then more leathery and leafy, maybe even a tad meaty (cured ham), with just faint whiffs of cigar box and apple peelings. Walnuts. Polished and kind of antique but not weak or tired at all. Slight OBE starting to appear (metal polish, soot)
restaurant Palate
extremely coherent with the nose but maybe a tad dry and too leafy at the attack. Strong tea, tea powder (the one that the Japanese use for cooking), leather, walnut skin… Kind of a meaty bitterness, some pepper, apple peelings… Far from being unpleasant but I think the nose was in a different league. Improves a bit if you give it quite some time, with more spicy cake and a little butterscotch and honeydew
timer Finish
rather long, broader than the palate, with a beautiful combination of soft spices and dried fruits (figs and lemons). More lemon marmalade in the aftertaste
