Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 처음엔 다소 닫혀 있어 향긋하면서 살짝 비누 같은 뉘앙스가 스치고, 오렌지 껍질과 라벤더, 생강 토닉이 서서히 발전한다. 링크우드 1991은 셰리 캐스크를 거쳤지만 46도의 절제된 바디로 우아함에 무게를 둔다. 팰럿은 매우 달아 설탕 뿌린 시리얼과 럼, 바닐라 리큐어가 앞서며 단순하지만 매끄럽다. 물을 더하면 옅은 피트와 훈연이 살짝 드러난다. 피니시는 길지 않아도 감귤과 곡물의 단맛이 또렷이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
quite closed at first nosing, just a little spirity, but it’s soon to exhale some very perfumy and slightly soapy notes. Orange skin, lavender, cardboard… Develops on ginger tonic, paraffin, almond milk, but everything is sort of toned down. We’ll try it with a few drops of water after the first sips
restaurant Palate
very sweet and almost sugarish, starting on sugared cereals, rum, vanilla liqueur… Quite some oomph but some very simple flavours. Water needed, maybe… Let’s go: the nose gets a little farmier and more phenolic, with a little peat coming through, burning candle, and something meaty, like smoked ham and sausages… It certainly improves, good news. The palate got better as well, still a little sweetish but with quite some dried fruits and also herbal teas. Liquorice as well. The finish isn’t too long, alas, and again a little sweetish. Anyway, Glenglassaugh has never been a high-profile distillery, and this one isn’t bad at all. Perhaps just not as complex as what you’d expect from a malt that’s almost 30 years old. 80 points . MUSIC – Oldies but goldies: 1968, ex Marilyn Monroe boy friend Yves Montand sings A bicyclette - mp3 live. One of the old French songs I like best - excuse my frenchness. PETE McPEAT AND JACK WASHBACK December 4, 2005 VIDEO CLIP - Just found a fantastic old movie about the reopening of Scottish distilleries in 1933, after the prohibition. It's on the Scotsman's website, right there . TASTING - TWO LINKWOODS Linkwood 1991/2005 (46%, Wilson & Morgan, sherry wood)
