Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오크 캐스크에서 22년을 보낸 숙성이 사라진 글렌 알빈의 1977년 증류액에 깊은 원숙함을 새긴다. 1983년 문을 닫은 인버네스의 증류소답게 향은 마른 풀과 밀랍, 옅은 토피의 단맛을 차근히 풀어낸다. 43도의 점잖은 도수 위로 입에서는 꿀과 곡물, 묵은 오크의 쌉쌀함이 균형 있게 흐른다. 짙은 황금빛 잔 끝으로 옛 증류소의 부드러운 우드 여운이 잔잔하게 머물며 사라진 하이랜드의 정취를 전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
it can happen, sometimes, that a particular malt whisky’s so fragrant and ‘perfumy’ (in a good way) that you’d think a perfumer assembled it. It’s the case here, with stunning notes of rose petals, musk (never found this much musk in whisky, honest), and some hand cream-by-some-posh-Parisian-house. Orange blossom water. In the background, rather furniture polish, old Camels, and something like… say old new electronics? Remember when we were unpacking a new stereo, or a new Macintosh circa 1990?
restaurant Palate
I cannot not think of classic Macallan. Some of the early 15s, distilled in the early 1950s, for example. Yep that’s pretty good news. Honey and dried fruits, but with a solid backbone, with pepper and soot. What we could call ‘almost-smoke’. Not quite smoke, but it’s smoky. I’m sure you see what I mean. Stunning palate, even if the 1974 still beats it
timer Finish
long – 43% vol., really? – and magnificently waxy and spicy
