Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 마른 흙내와 옅은 연기, 이끼와 버섯을 떠올리게 하는 대지의 향이 먼저 다가온다. 잔을 흔들면 밀랍과 풀 향, 은은한 허브가 그 위에 얹힌다. 55.4도의 17년산 글렌리벳을 한 모금 머금으면 소금기와 쌉싸름한 오렌지, 캐러웨이 같은 약초 향이 강하게 혀를 채운다. 넘긴 뒤에는 해안가의 짭조름함과 왁스 같은 질감이 길게 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
dry, slightly smoky, grassy, earthy, waxy, and faintly metallic, like many an antique malt from around or before WWII. Certainly more ‘Highlands’ than today, and what I especially adore is all this delicate earthiness, with moss, mushrooms, even damp lichen and bark, plus some wee herbs that smell of mint but that aren’t quite mint. There are many of them in Nature!
restaurant Palate
really powerful, rugged, with a coastal side that wasn’t uncommon, some salt, plenty of waxes, then bitter oranges and quite a spoonful of a dry herbal liqueur. Caraway, aniseed, gentian, bitter herbs… The mouth feel is very perfect, this baby’s beautifully textured
timer Finish
pretty long, just as coastal/briny, waxy, with a signature on hydrocarbons
