Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 기울여 흔들면 옅은 황금빛이 잔 벽을 따라 천천히 흐른다. 코를 가져가면 꿀과 시트러스, 마른 풀의 옛스러운 향이 부드럽게 올라오며 어우러지고 옅은 오크가 더해진다. 한 모금 머금으면 43도의 순한 기운 속에서 보리 단맛과 가벼운 오크가 혀를 적신다. 사라진 글렌 알빈 증류소의 1978년 원액을 삼키면 은은한 향신료와 꿀이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
Pale gold
air Nose
Mashed potatoes eaten next to a hay loft. Lots of fresh cereals, butter, parsley, a little citrus, some vegetable oil, quite typical of these sorts of bottlings if you ask me. Perhaps a nice, gentle peat note emerging after a while along with some peppery aspects and a little green and white fruitiness. Becomes pleasantly fresher and more herbal with a little time in the glass
restaurant Palate
A delivery all on boiled sweets, barley sugar, mead, fruit pastilles - very sugary this one but in a pleasing way. Icing sugar, sponge cake (I should know!), some mint choc chip ice cream and, eventually, some soft floral notes of wildflowers. More cereals, citrus and a leafy, grassy note develops with time, perhaps some notes of gorse and various herbal liqueurs
timer Finish
Medium length with little notes of saltpetre, camphor and tea
