Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 깊숙이 잠긴다. 폐쇄된 하이랜드 글렌에스크가 1981년 빈티지로부터 26년 동안 셰리 캐스크에서 보낸 시간이 말린 자두와 호두, 옅은 가죽으로 코를 끌어당긴다. 56.9도의 도수가 입안에서 다크 초콜릿과 시나몬, 잘 익은 체리를 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 던컨 테일러 레어 올드가 들려주는 사라진 증류소의 깊은 균형감이 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
very powerful, starting on huge notes of wine and distillation. Kirsch, maraschino, a little rubber and quite some meet sauce (or chicken bouillon for that matter.) Gets then flintier, with also quite some gunpowder and burnt matches as well as notes of plain oak and burnt sugar (right, caramel). With water: a big grassiness arises, with a lot of plain cut grass and infused green tea, and then more linseed oil and paraffin, even motor oil
restaurant Palate
very thick and very creamy, starting all on orange liqueur and herbs (coriander) and getting then more coffeeish. Another coffee-schnapps? With water: it got half sherried, half organic. Bitter oranges, strong coffee (a bit acidic) and peppercorn. Unusual
timer Finish
long, with many more spices now, including various peppers
