Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 50년이라는 시간이 글렌유리 로열에 새긴 묵은 가죽과 마른 자두, 흙냄새가 가장 먼저 명확하게 드러난다. 호그스헤드 안에서 천천히 산화된 향미가 한 겹씩 펼쳐진다. 팰럿에서는 마른 무화과와 카카오, 약한 송진의 노트가 빽빽한 단맛과 함께 흐른다. 45도의 절제된 도수가 노숙한 향미의 결을 단단히 잡아준다. 피니시는 흙과 어두운 꿀이 길게 이어지며 1968 빈티지의 무게가 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
this is so much neater than the Glen Mhor, tidier, and almost as complex, even if some slightly worrying notes of pine resin are emerging (not always good news w.r.t. the palate, but we’ll see.) Old books and papers, old furniture, all the polish that’s needed for maintenance, orange peel, fabric, broken branches, green bananas, putty and oil paint, moshi, bean curd, then some surprising candyfloss and toffee apple. Welcome to the fair!
restaurant Palate
when old oak gets rather sappy and herbal instead of teaish and tannic, that works in my book, even if the fruitiness got pretty discreet after all those years. Or say rather on peelings, stems and pips than on flesh and juices. Quite some herbal teas too (hawthorn, thyme, rooibos, perhaps hibiscus…) and once again this feeling of green bananas, or banana skin. But here, the tannicity hasn’t won the war here, hurray and bravo!
timer Finish
many very old malts tend to become a little mentholy and resinous at this point, which is happening indeed, but without excess. Especially the aftertaste remains rather fresh, which will grant this old baby a very good score in my humble little book
