Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1973 아드벡의 짙은 피트 페놀과 호그스헤드 27년이 빚은 옅은 시트러스, 오래된 의약품 노트가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 47.4도라는 절제된 도수가 향의 미세한 층을 또렷이 드러낸다. 팰럿은 훈제 라임과 가죽, 짭조름한 미네랄이 명확하게 발전하고 1970년대 초 아드벡 특유의 깊은 페놀이 또렷이 드러난다. 피니시는 매우 길고 잘 익은 피트가 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
very n ice peat smoke and green tea. Beautifully balanced if not complex. Some nice white fruits (gooseberries, green pears) and grain. A very nice nose, very clean and pure
restaurant Palate
a simple, clean and straightforward Caol Ila. Peat, smoke and tea again, with some apple pie and grass… Notes of liquorice roots. Simple, perhaps a bit smokier than usually, and very enjoyable. 85 points . MUSIC – JAZZ - Highly recommended listening: Helen Merrill sings I'm a fool to want you.mp3 . No comments, except that you should buy Helen Merrill's music. FIRST GLANN AR MOR SPIRIT: 3 EASY STEPS (we have the pictures!) Step #1 : Fermentation (view of the Glann ar Mor washback) Step #2 : Distilling the wash, by pouring it into the... err, wash still! <<< Step #3 : oh no, Jean, no!!! That isn't the way you should do it! The gospel is: the low wines go into the spirit still and the distiller stays outside - and not reversely. Yes, even if you're looking for a 'meaty' whisky!!! All joking apart, Jean Donnay is doing all that very seriously - state of the art - and I really can't wait to taste Glann ar Mor's new make. That's why I'll go to 'By the Seashore' ('Glann ar Mor' in Breton) within a couple of weeks and, of course, let you know what I think. Kenavo!
