Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
벤 네비스 산자락 포트 윌리엄의 차가운 호수 공기가 글렌로키 풍토의 핵심이다. 1979년 원액이 리필 아메리칸 호그스헤드에서 44년을 보냈고 53.2도의 깊이를 그대로 담았다. 옅은 호박빛 잔에서 말린 살구, 밀랍, 코코넛 부스러기의 향이 길게 올라온다. 입안은 묵직하게 토피, 마른 자두, 흰 후추가 또렷하다. 여운에는 폐쇄 증류소 특유의 마른 흙 풍미가 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold with bronze hues
air Nose
the kinship with the Rare Malt is quite clear despite the age gap, and even at forty-four years old, it has retained that austere, mineral edge that evokes once again clay, limestone and slate, atop a bed of white and green fruits, little pears, apples, natural white wine, whitecurrants… It’s sheer beauty, if you’re paying close attention! With water: vineyard peach returns in force, softening everything quite wonderfully
restaurant Palate
it arrives at full gallop, beyond the yellow fruits, very camphory on one side, with as much eucalyptus and pine bud as you’d find in a Corsican forest, the effect rounded off by lemons and citrons, also presumably from Corsica. Spot on. With water: once again, fresh fruits take over, citrus leads the charge, and that mineral tension remains. Once again we’re practically in grand dry white wine territory now, perhaps even Andalusian if you fancy
timer Finish
long and magnificent, still on that mineral fruitiness – or fruity minerality – endlessly fascinating
