Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오크 캐스크에서 스물아홉 해를 보낸 시간이 1970년 글렌로키의 침묵을 다시 깨운다. 향에서는 마른 들풀과 꿀, 묵은 사과 껍질이 잔잔하게 풀려나간다. 입에서는 토피와 캐러멜라이즈드 사과가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고 57.2도의 강도를 흙냄새와 향신료가 단단히 잡아준다. 짙은 황금빛이 잔에 깊이 잠겨 있고 여운에는 마른 오크와 가벼운 광물성이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
the more Glenlochys I try, the more I feel it is something like the Clynelish of the West. This wonderful waxiness and distillate-derived fatness that feels also mechanical, slightly animalistic and highly mineral is like Clynelish speaking with a west highland accent to my palate. There’s also lovely fresh hints of grass and crushed green herbs along with a little punchy olive oil. With water: more clay, sheep wool oils and an impression of porridge laced with sea salt and honey. What I love most is the potency of the distillate which is still almost entirely what this whisky is about even at 29 years old
restaurant Palate
big, chewy, superbly waxy, mineral and oily with a lot of yellow flowers, salted honey, crushed flower stems, vase water, clay, ointments, putty and tea tree oil. Treads that lovely line between mechanical and rustic with this mineral and waxy profile that brings in medical stuff, garages and toolbox vibes along with it. With water: retains this wonderful fatness and richness in the mouth. Honey mixed with olive oil with a tang of seawater and filtered through sheep wool. I’d also add more clay, ink and shoe polish into the mix
timer Finish
good length, with a little white stone and exotic fruit hints in the aftertaste, more medicine and cooking oils too
