Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 사라진 글렌 알빈 증류소의 1964 빈티지가 30년 셰리우드에서 발전시킨 짙은 가죽과 마호가니 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 1960년대 인버네스 시그너처인 옅은 흙 내음 노트가 뒤이어 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿에서는 46.7도가 부드럽게 미끄러지며 셰리 단맛, 마른 호두, 까만 향신료가 단단한 구조감으로 발전한다. 피니시는 광택 나는 오크 탄닌과 가죽 노트가 길게 이어지며 사라진 하이랜드의 결이 또렷이 깃든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep orangey gold
air Nose
as I've often found with this series over the years, the profile seems to be often quite brutal and tough, which is certainly the case here. However, this one is the most sherried version I've found thus far, so a lean, highly mineral and oily sherry profile that involves lots of marrow, bacon fat, saltiness, medicinal herbs and even things like ink, suet, putty and cheng pi orange peel. A glimmer of honey adds a suggestion of something sweeter and brighter. Overall though this is robust and austere old highland whisky. With water: very leafy, very mineral and getting more animalistic with sheep wool, furs and duck fat (maybe I will roast my potatoes in this whisky for Christmas day this year?)
restaurant Palate
coal tar soap, aniseed, a very drying and brittle waxiness and then an increasing sense of bitter herbs, hessian and camphor. It's also getting a tad soapy as well, which is a shame as there were some very promising elements. We aren't talking 80s Bowmore levels, but it's unavoidable and not too enjoyable. Some overripe orange peels, burnt marmalade and suggestions of cough medicine. With water: this hasn't helped the situation, it's not enhanced the soap but it all falls apart a little now
timer Finish
long, very herbal and bitter, peppery, sharp and rather aggressive almost
