Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
적갈색에 가까운 호박빛이 잔에 깊게 머문다. 1980년에 증류해 25년을 보낸 글렌로테스는 아델피가 56.2도 캐스크 스트렝스로 골라낸 한 캐스크의 결과다. 향은 잘 익은 무화과와 흑설탕, 옅은 가죽이 함께 비친다. 입에서는 진한 토피와 다크 베리, 시나몬의 단맛이 입천장을 천천히 덮는다. 여운은 시가 박스와 호두로 길게 이어진다. 80년대 스페이사이드 셰리 캐스크의 두께를 짐작케 하는 잔이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
maybe it’s the power of mind but it does start like a Cognac somehow (is this what some call a brandified malt whisky?), before it gets very chocolaty and coffee-ish. Rather big notes of orange marmalade, walnut stain, toast and butter, gingerbread, cigar box... Strawberry jam. Very faint whiffs of dill and mint. Well, it seems that this new embodiment of the Auld Alliance works quite well. With water: bizarrely, water almost killed this one. It got too dry, cardboardy, excessively ‘walnutty’... Bizarre-bizarre. Let’s wait... zzz... No, that didn’t work, it got almost silent now. Yes, bizarre
restaurant Palate
extremely creamy, thick and oily, with an immense fruitiness and, indeed, something that’s not wholly ‘whisky’ (but Cognac is barely noticeable as such). A whole fruitcake, baklavas, apricot jam (loads), quince jelly, marzipan-filled dates... With water: even sweeter, almost sugary now. Got much simpler – again, this one swims like a flat iron
timer Finish
long, sweet, creamy, candied, with quite some cloves
