Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
벤리네스 산기슭의 서늘한 공기가 글렌파클라스의 셰리 숙성에 깊이를 더한다. 페드로 히메네스 호그스헤드에서 마무리한 이 위스키는 짙은 적갈색을 띤다. 향에는 검은 건포도와 당밀, 밀랍의 단내가 빽빽하게 감돈다. 55.1도의 입안에서는 무화과 잼과 다크초콜릿, 가죽이 진하게 흐른다. 25년의 시간이 빚은 여운에는 달큰한 셰리와 향신료가 오래 잠겨 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
no excessive raisins, that’s sorted. It’s actually pretty close to the OB, only a little more on yeast extracts and Guinness. Also some menthol, orange liqueur, and drops of old tar liqueur (goudron hygiénique), then really loads of chocolate. That’s cool. With water: lovely. A kougelhopf straight from an Alsatian grandma’s old oven
restaurant Palate
excellent, not too PX-y, or rather on proper old PX, seemingly. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy good old PX, but those are rarely used to season whisky casks, let’s not dream. Very good notes of blood oranges and sweeter garam masala. Satay (peanuts). With water: lovely aniseed and fennel. It’s getting almost pastissy, if you could say that, but other than that, chocolate, oranges and raisins are running the show here
timer Finish
rather long, rounded, chocolaty, with some honey, cloves, and pepper. A feeling of mulled wine ‘at cask strength’
