Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에서 천천히 회전한다. 1980년 증류 후 30년을 보낸 글레누기는 침묵에 잠긴 증류소가 남긴 흔치 않은 흔적이다. 코끝에는 말린 살구와 꿀, 오래된 도서관의 가죽 표지 같은 향이 깊게 머문다. 한 모금 머금으면 52도의 알코올이 묵직하게 입을 채우며 다크 토피와 향신료, 은은한 멜론의 단맛을 드러낸다. 여운은 흑설탕과 떡갈나무의 풍미가 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
sadly, I don’t seem to find Glenugie’s proverbial intense fruitiness, rather a combination of oak spices with toasted brioche, and bark and walnut. Some beeswax too, a little wood smoke, a touch of mocha and a little damp earth/old musty cellar. Some rubbed mint leaves as well, and perhaps a drop of pinesap. Hasn’t the cask been a little too active? With water: oh, mandarins come out, together with some sweet ham. Ribs cooked in honey sauce or something
restaurant Palate
ah this has more Glenugieness, should such a thing have ever existed. Grapefruit compote or something like that, spicy mango chutney, touches of passion fruits… We’re nowhere near the legendary Sestantes, but we’re above other indie bottlings of late 1970s vintages in my opinion. The oak’s a tad too loud, though, and there’s quite a lot of pepper. With water: very good, jammy and citrusy. Some thick citrus liqueur with peppermint and pepper
timer Finish
long, rich, jammy and citrusy. Spiced citrons, perhaps
