Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1966년에 증류된 글렌 알빈이 셰리 우드에서 18년을 보낸 끝에 짙은 호박빛을 잔에 또렷이 깃들게 한다. 코끝에는 폐쇄된 인버네스 증류소가 남긴 농축된 건포도와 잘 익은 자두, 옅은 흙내음이 먼저 올라온다. 한 모금에는 셰리의 부드러운 단맛과 호두 껍질, 묵은 우드 노트가 미끄러지듯 흐른다. 46도라는 절제된 도수가 카덴헤드의 결을 받치며 사라진 인버네스 위스키 전통의 정취를 길고 또렷이 비친다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw (little old whisky, I suppose)
air Nose
I have to say I like this, whether it's old 'on average' or not. It's surprisingly phenolic and waxy, although the garden fruits (pears, apples, peaches) are all well there. Barley wine, many nuts (especially fresh hazelnuts), whiffs of (unused) engine oil, almond oil... It's relatively firmer than expected and, above all unsherried. Well, if there's some sherry, then there's very little
restaurant Palate
soft and fruity, it's all like fruit juice with some barley sugar and a little vanilla. Cane sugar, custard, more apple juice, sweet 'iced' cider like our Canadian cousins make, touches of sweet muscat wine... It's ripe and yet it's full of youth - not unlike the excellent Mr. Malcolm!
timer Finish
of medium length, even more on sweet cider and juicy apples
