Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 39년 숙성의 짙은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 따라 묵직하게 흐른다. 코끝에 가져가면 1970년 빈티지 글렌리벳 특유의 깊은 꿀과 잘 익은 살구가 가장 먼저 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 54.3도의 단단한 알코올 너머로 오크의 시나몬, 토피, 호두가 차례로 입천장을 덮는다. 삼키고 나면 마른 향신료와 다크 카라멜이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
I had expected some kind of fruity and floral extravaganza but not at all, it’s rather bizarrely cheesy and cardboardy at first nosing, with hints of cooked asparagus and maybe even truffles. Mercaptan? Let’s let this baby breathe a bit… (after fifteen minutes) Yes, that worked, it became appropriately jammy and fruity. Butterscotch, fruit salad and honey, pomegranates… What a transformation! No more mercaptan. Lovely. With water: even more so. All these ‘Western’ fruits plus touches of hay, beeswax, honeycomb and all that… Almost a wonder now
restaurant Palate
bizarre again. On the one side, there’s this very zesty profile, with a lot of orange juice, but on the other side there’s something bizarrely chemical (canned orange juice, liquorice allsorts, jell-o). Quite some green oak as well, maybe it’s the culprit, let’s wee… With water: not much changes. Maybe a little marmalade but these ‘chemical’ oranges remain there
timer Finish
medium long, with more zesty spices, coriander, cardamom seeds…
