Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
인버네스 운하 곁에 있던 글렌 앨빈은 1980년대에 사라진 하일랜드 증류소다. 호그스헤드에서 27년을 보낸 이 1981 빈티지는 깊은 황금빛으로 잔을 채운다. 잔에서는 잘 익은 사과와 밀랍, 마른 풀의 향이 우아하게 번진다. 55도의 한 모금은 단단하면서 꿀과 토피, 옅은 흙내가 또렷하게 퍼진다. 사라진 증류소의 흔적답게 여운은 길고 무르익은 과일과 오크가 깊게 남는다.
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
