Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
하이랜드 포트 윌리엄에 자리했던 글렌로키 증류소의 풍토가 이 1969년 빈티지에 또렷이 새겨져 있다. 깊은 호박빛이 잔에 잠겨 있다. 향에서 마른 가죽과 흑설탕, 옅은 향나무가 묵직하게 올라온다. 입에서는 호두와 흑설탕, 검은 후추가 풀바디로 흐른다. 62.08도의 캐스크 스트렝스가 25년의 시간을 단단히 받쳐주며 여운에는 폐쇄 증류소의 어두운 깊이가 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it starts straight off on lemon balm water, green melon and freshly-mown grass, with a rather formidable austerity, almost frightening in nature. Very little development without water; perhaps just a whiff of cider apple, gooseberries-for-mackerel and clay. Austere like a charmingly old-fashioned librarian who chose to remain single, quite deliberately of course. With water: not a chance, it actually retreats further into clay and slate, although you do find a few touches of citrus peel and maybe a bit of underripe kiwi or white peach. I must add, we’re rather fond of this sort of stern elegance
restaurant Palate
maximum tension here, all on home-made limoncello aged in an earthenware jar, along with some herbs. It does rather slice you in half, to be honest… With water: and there we are, it finally opens up, on a monumental garden fruit salad drenched in honey and… malt whisky. The terracotta still lingers, by the way, it reminds me of those rare terracotta wine glasses some eccentric enthusiasts insist on using, never cleaned with anything other than pure water
timer Finish
long, more rustic, herbaceous, more on fruit peelings, though a bit of mango does make a slightly late appearance. Some pear as well
