Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1970년에 빚어진 원액이 아메리칸 오크 리필 캐스크에서 40년을 보낸 흔적이 한 잔 안에 응축되어 있다. 노즈에는 잘 익은 사과 콤포트와 가벼운 시나몬, 마른 보리 향이 두드러진다. 입에서는 토피와 오렌지 마멀레이드, 호두 껍질의 텁텁함이 진한 단맛으로 흐르고 59.4도의 알코올이 단단한 구조감을 받친다. 잔에 잠긴 적호박빛 위로 폐쇄 증류소 글렌유리 로열 특유의 마른 시리얼 여운이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
we're much closer to the Lochnagar than to the Brackla, although this baby starts more on leather and walnuts, with unexpected whiffs of capers and samphires. Very peculiar, must come from the oak. Then more wood smoke, dark toffee and coffee, chocolate… Easy nosing at such high strength. Yet, with water: ho-ho, we got very close to the Lochnagar now. This one has just a little more humus and aniseed. Swims like a champ. Touches of maraschino coming through after a few minutes
restaurant Palate
Cointreau and coffee, with some cured ham in the background. Sounds weird? It isn't, quite the opposite… The oak does a large part of the job but it does it well, imparting notes of cedar wood, cigar, bacon (a lot!) and really a lot of bitter chocolate. Yet it's not drying or bitter, not at all… And it's surprisingly drinkable at such high strength. With water: gets sweeter and rounder although the oak never gives up. Great notes of gentian and other rooty/bitter stuff
timer Finish
long, with more mint and cough lozenges from the oak. The chocolate is back in the aftertaste, together with lemon zests and more mint. After Eights?
