Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑고 짙은 황금빛이 잔에 묵직하게 자리한다. 폐쇄 증류소 글렌로키가 1980년에 증류되어 26년을 보낸 향은 잘 익은 트로피컬 프루츠와 가벼운 약초의 강렬한 단내 위로 하이랜드 특유의 흙 내음과 묵직한 오크가 다층적으로 어우러진다. 한 모금에 59.2도의 견고한 캐스크 강도가 두툼하게 펼쳐지며 캐러멜과 마른 자두, 후추의 스파이시한 터치가 차례로 흐른다. SMWS 62.15가 명명한 잔혹한 매혹답게 길고 도전적인 여운이 인상 깊게 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
quite harsh, very spirity, kirschy, a tad aggressive despite the vanilla that starts to coat the whole after a few seconds. It's also quite grassy and mineral, austere, porridgy… Not very easy, not very sexy, not very modern., although some nice whiffs of fern and fresh aromatic herbs start to appear after a good ten minutes (dill, coriander). With water: even more 'retro', with whiffs of wet cloth, raw wool, spicy mushrooms (rodopaxillus nudus - whatever) and pine nuts
restaurant Palate
very old-skool, mossy and bitter, sharply lemony as well, very grassy, with also bags of juniper berries and strong liquorice. Amalt unlike any others, quite extreme in its very own style. I don't think any active distillery makes this kind today. With water: more moss, more gin, sugarcane, peppermint, soot, wax, motor oil… Really sappy and phenolic
timer Finish
long, resinous, phenolic, with more tar and a more obvious smokiness. Maybe something a notch too chemical in the aftertaste (paint)
