Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
세월이 스민 옅은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 은은하게 빛난다. 오래전 사라진 인버네스의 글렌 앨빈이 1974년에 채워 28년을 보낸 이 원액은 잊힌 증류소의 흔적을 고스란히 담았다. 코끝에는 마른 풀과 꿀, 옅은 시트러스의 향이 어우러진다. 입에 닿으면 46도의 부드러운 도수가 보리와 바닐라, 오래된 오크의 풍미를 천천히 풀어놓는다. 끝에는 마른 풀과 미네랄의 여운이 깊고 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
there's a bit of smoke, a hint of vanilla, a touch of menthol, some sawdust, a bit of pine wood, a little bit like pine resin candies... All in all, it's quite multifaceted, which is quite amusing
restaurant Palate
more peaty on the palate, not unpleasant, with Szechuan pepper and slightly burnt wood, as well as bitter oranges. A bit of smoked fish, but I have a bit of trouble pinning down the style, if you can call it that. It's a difficulty found in the vast majority of non-peaty malts that start making peated versions; the styles are often unlikely. I'm finding more and more caramel and the typical spices from wood here, ginger, cinnamon
timer Finish
quite long, on fresh wood and peat. Candied lemon in the aftertaste
