Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 둥글게 돌리면 옅은 황금빛이 잔 벽을 타고 흐른다. 문 닫은 글렌 알빈답게 코를 가져가면 잘 익은 배와 밀랍, 마른 풀 향이 차례로 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 리필 버번 호그스헤드에서 25년 숙성된 원액이 58.7도의 기운으로 혀를 찌르고, 꿀과 시트러스가 함께 번진다. 삼키면 마른 허브와 흰 후추의 끝맛이 깊게 머물러 사라진 인버네스 증류소의 자취를 길게 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
millimetric sherry, on walnut cake, then bread and brioche, in a more bourbony manner. Whiffs of farmyard, mud, steeped barley in the background. Nice. With water: feels a little young. Raw malt and Nescafé
restaurant Palate
punchy and orange-y, with notes of light rum, stewed peaches, pomegranates, and biscuits. Feels both young and almost mature, just like, say A’bunadh and GF 105. That’s probably the thing, they should all bottle their NAS at cask strength, however unpleasant that might seem to their bean counters. With water: oranges come out. Always like it when that happens
timer Finish
rather long, a tad rough. Apple peel, sour fruits
