Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 28년을 보낸 깊은 황금빛이 유리벽에 느릿한 자국을 남긴다. 코를 가까이 하면 사라진 인버네스의 글렌 올빈 특유의 부드러운 맥아 향과 잘 익은 배, 옅은 왁스가 은은하게 올라온다. 한 모금 흘려보내면 오랜 숙성이 다듬은 매끈한 질감 위로 꿀과 시트러스, 가벼운 향신료가 번진다. 53.1도로 잔잔히 삼킨 뒤에도 달큰한 과일과 묵은 오크가 혀끝에 천천히 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
sumptuously old-school with a puff of cigar smoke rolling through some rather earthy teas (think some stormy old pu-ehr), then a saucy shift towards marmalade jus, roast duck à l’orange style, ha, followed by those wonderfully evocative dusty old tomes and glossies banished in your attic. Drifts of wax and beehive honey appear too, as though a rogue swarm had taken up residence in the rafters half a century ago. Right…
restaurant Palate
classically salty, metallic, loaded with chalk and concrete dust, and that familiar photolytic tang you sometimes get with some old bottles (taste of light). But here it's briskly corrected by a jolt of spicy beef broth, straight from a Bangkok street corner (that's enough two-penny travelogue, S.) With that lush oiliness you only find in those venerable blends where the malt content did the heavy lifting
timer Finish
curiously persistent, as if someone had sneakily boosted it to 45% vol., with the orange bouncing back to tango with the mineral notes and bouillon spices
