Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 들어 빛에 비추며 흔들면 짙은 황금빛이 맑게 번진다. 코끝을 가져가면 39년을 보낸 글렌리벳의 잘 익은 망고와 꿀, 밀랍 향이 천천히 피어오른다. 한 모금 머금으면 오랜 오크가 남긴 깊은 단맛과 오렌지 마멀레이드가 혀를 감싸고 54.4도의 도수가 은근히 데운다. 삼키고 나면 잘 닦인 고목의 향과 향신료가 입안에 오래 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…
