Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리의 명가 글렌파클라스가 1990년에 채운 원액은 셰리 호그스헤드에서 마무리되어 짙은 적갈색을 잔에 드리운다. 향은 잘 익은 건포도와 호두, 흑설탕의 진한 단 내음이 두껍게 솟아오른다. 50.8도의 입안은 대추야자와 다크초콜릿, 가죽의 깊은 단맛으로 묵직하게 채워진다. 스물여섯 해가 빚은 셰리의 농축된 풍미가 인상적이며, 여운에는 말린 과일과 오크의 쌉쌀함이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
love love love. Varnish, coal smoke, roasted pecans, damp garden peat, an old bag of old walnuts, and game. Say well-hung grouse ;-). With water: exceptional earthiness. Blended tea and tobacco. Together
restaurant Palate
superb peppery and very vegetal sherry, most unusual once again. I’m sure some would say this is flawed (after all, aubergines in whisky is not something very catholic, is it), but I’m all for it. Artichokes, bizarre smoked things, plastic, green pepper… So yeah, it’s all very odd, and supremely funny. With water: water gets it back in line – sort of – but there’s this very funny vegetal smoky peppery thing that remains. Not unlike in a great Pauillac that’s not ready at all yet
timer Finish
long, on a ‘funny’ jam. Green pepper, cherries, raisins, juniper berries…
