Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래된 적갈색이 잔 안에 깊게 어린다. 1965년 인버네스에서 증류된 글렌 알빈은 지금은 사라진 하이랜드 증류소로, 셰리 우드에서 37년을 보낸 싱글 캐스크다. 향에서는 졸인 건과일과 묵은 가죽, 흑설탕이 은은하게 피어오른다. 입에서는 마른 자두와 무화과의 단맛에 호두와 향신료의 온기가 더해진다. 43도의 낮은 도수가 세월이 다듬은 풍미를 둥글게 감싸며 가죽과 마른 과일의 여운이 깊게 머문다.

air Nose
this is a whisky unlike any other, I think I’ve seldom nosed something that was so delicately herbal (despite the big notes of Williams pears in the background). In fact, it’s a combination of verbena, wormwood, coriander, aniseed and maybe plain grass with pears and muesli. There’s also a lot of hay (on a hot summer day, no need to say). This could be great whisky…
restaurant Palate
even more unusual. Starts very cardboardy, ultra-dry, maybe even a tad flat, but contrarily to the 19yo, it takes off a bit after a few seconds. Mind you, it never becomes a winner but once again, some unexpected notes of herbs do emerge. In fact, it’s like an old-style herbal liqueur. I believe that comes from bottle ageing - partly. Too bad it’s soon to become flat and dull again
timer Finish
very short. Woosh
