Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 마호가니빛이 잔에 진하게 흐른다. 스페이사이드 글렌로시스 1979년은 아델피가 병입한 20년 원액으로, 깊게 셰리를 입은 개성을 드러낸다. 초콜릿과 건자두, 아르마냑과 올로로소, 모렐로 체리의 향이 겹겹이 올라오고, 한 모금 머금으면 호두와 마른 무화과, 마르멜로 젤리의 진한 셰리가 55.6도의 힘을 타고 입을 덮는다. 여운은 건자두와 생강 리큐어가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
mahogany
air Nose
well, it’s obviously an heavily sherried version and maybe I shouldn’t have started with this baby, as it’s also the strongest… But a verticale is a verticale, isn’t it! Anyway, bags of chocolate and prunes, Armagnac, deep oloroso, morello cherries, raspberry jam and blood oranges, so it’s a fruity/sweet sherry it seems. Quite heavy so far… With water: quite superb, classic development on balsamico, leather and walnut liqueur, with also touches of bacon
restaurant Palate
ultra-rich, thick, concentrated sherry. Walnuts, dried figs, prunes, quince jelly and again that feeling of old Armagnac, but there’s also something citrusy that really lifts the whole and makes it fresh and (almost) sippable just like that. With water: the oak’s spices come out (ginger, cinnamon) but the citrusy notes remain and keep it lively
timer Finish
long, on gin fizz and ginger liqueur, then classic prunes and figs
