Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 다소 드라이하고 풀잎 같은 향이 두드러지며 캄포르와 유칼립투스의 청량함, 백합과 인동초 같은 꽃 향이 섬세하게 드러난다. 셰리 시즌드 오크가 절제되어 가벼우면서도 복합적이다. 팰럿은 더없이 편안해 맥아와 초콜릿의 도입 위로 헤더 꿀과 마멀레이드, 옅은 당밀의 단맛이 또렷하게 발전한다. 피니시는 짧으나 신선하고 케이크 같은 풍미와 건포도가 비친다. 글렌로시스 12년의 정갈한 균형이 명확하게 드러나는 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold (it’s not caramel-infested)
air Nose
drier, less expressive than the Manse, grassier as well, with touches of camphor and eucalyptus, which is always nice. Some delicate floral notes, lilies, honeysuckle, whiffs of bread crust, raisin rolls, blackcurrant buds, a little white chocolate... It’s pretty complex, subtle, sadly just a little light, and that may come from the very low strength. 40% is very 1990s, no?
restaurant Palate
very good, the epitome of easiness as far as malt whiskies are concerned, and yet the opposite of a dull whisky. Wonderful malty/chocolaty arrival, then heather and acacia honey (strong and light), then marmalade and a very wee molassy side. You cannot not enjoy this, and it is even rather refreshing (hey, careful!)
timer Finish
a little short (40%, booo!) but fresh and clean, with a cake-y richness. Raisins in the aftertaste – where have they been?
