Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1975년 증류된 26년 글렌 알빈에서 인버네스의 사라진 증류소다운 잘 익은 과일과 꿀, 옅은 흙내음이 먼저 두드러진다. 레어 몰트 셀렉션으로 병입된 희소한 보틀링답게 깊고 또렷한 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 54.8도에서 시트러스와 마른 과일, 오크 향신료가 단단한 구조로 발전한다. 피니시는 마른 오크와 과일 단맛이 길게 이어지며, 폐쇄 증류소 특유의 원숙한 구조감을 보여준다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
incredible freshness and vibrant waxiness. A profile that is pure distillate and hugely charismatic, dominated by waxes, putty, herbs, eucalyptus and a highly pronounced mineral quality, reminiscent of some very old Clynelish in fact, I'm thinking specifically of the old spring cap 12yo OB Clynelish. Many subtle aromas start to emerge with time, such as bike chain grease, dried mint, heather honey and some very classic camphor impressions. A wonderful nose
restaurant Palate
hard to believe this would be only 40%, once again the character is dominated by these stunning waxy and honey components, also wee white stone fruits, more herbal notes such as herbal teas and herbal liqueurs (hello Chartreuse once again). It's also got a stunning vegetal side that strays into very specific umami notes like Maggi and bouillon. I still find even a little sweet malt extract and lemon barley water
timer Finish
rather long, and surprisingly warming with a growing peppery sense that suggest crushed rocket and watercress, then fennel seed and celery salt. More lovage and Maggi in the aftertaste and an ever-present waxiness too
