Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 꿀과 은은한 꽃향, 시트러스가 또렷이 드러나며 산뜻하게 시작된다. 입에서는 꿀의 단맛과 잘 익은 과일, 보리의 고소함이 매끄럽게 발전한다. 버번과 셰리 캐스크의 이중 숙성이 글렌모렌지 특유의 섬세함에 깊이를 더한다. 18년 숙성과 43도가 만나 향과 맛의 균형이 단단하게 정돈된다. 여운은 잘 익은 과일과 가벼운 오크가 길고 부드럽게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
mahogany (dark oloroso!)
air Nose
pure, liquid chocolate at first nosing, then we have more oranges, both fresh and dried, as well as a good deal of ‘good’ sulphur (that is to say sulphur that’s closer to gunpowder than to, err, rotten eggs or H2S). Gets then very gamey and even a tad acetic (balsamico but also soy sauce). Old walnut liqueur. A spectacular dry sherry monster on the nose, for lovers of the genre only
restaurant Palate
I’m sorry, this is no whisky, it’s plain old ueber-fortified sherry. Maybe they should double-check their bond book, mistakes can always be made ;-). But good it is!
timer Finish
long, luscious, chocolaty and jammy. Chocolate-coated prunes in Armagnac. Blood oranges in the aftertaste
