Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
엷은 황금빛이 잔 안에 맑게 빛난다. 호그스헤드에서 31년을 보낸, 사라진 인버네스의 글렌 알빈답게 잘 익은 배와 꿀, 옅은 연기의 향이 곱게 피어오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 56.7도의 힘이 바닐라와 시트러스, 마른 풀의 단맛으로 흐른다. 오랜 숙성이 가벼운 스피릿에 은은한 깊이를 더했다. 흰 과일과 옅은 그을음의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
amazing, this is XIXth century Cognac. Really. Old prune liqueurs, sloe, damsons, sultanas, then marrow bouillon, very old Sauternes, old books, light soy sauce, balm, cigars, sandalwood, incense, fir honey… That’s what’s missing from many contemporary whiskies, it’s called complexity
restaurant Palate
bwah bwah bwah, this is incredibly resinous, sappy, and indeed pine-y. You’re almost drinking turpentine, actually. Too much for me, let’s try to add a wee drop of water… With water: that works, albeit partially. Black tea, walnut stain (not that I’ve ever sipped any), coffee…
timer Finish
medium, and pretty dry. Eating cocoa. We’ve tried some very old Glenfarclas that were a bit like this
