Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 로시스의 비옥한 토양과 맑은 물이 풍만한 과실 풍미로 알려진 글렌로시스의 성격을 길렀다. 버번 숙성 뒤 코냑 캐스크에서 마무리한 이 1986년 원액은 잔에 깊은 황금빛을 띠고, 코끝에는 잘 익은 포도와 살구, 바닐라의 향이 풍성하게 번진다. 입에서는 과실의 단맛과 코냑의 풍미, 향신료가 매끄럽게 어우러지고 55.1도의 힘이 또렷하게 받쳐 준다. 마무리에는 무르익은 과일과 오크가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
we’re much more on the fruity side here, even if it’s no fruitbomb at all. Bigger orange notes, then something leathery, tobacco, black tea, figs, orange blossom water... Loses oomph over time and gets a little drier, with the oak coming into the game (hints of oak sawdust), as well as more citrusy notes (tangerines, not lemons). Very pleasant nevertheless
restaurant Palate
very good attack (albeit a little tannic) on oranges, tangerines, macadamia nuts and strong black tea. A lot of oomph. Sure the oak has its say here, with quite some pepper, dried cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon... Also quite some ginger. A good example of a rather oaky old whisky that’s still very pleasant
timer Finish
long, a tad prickly (the tannins) but balance isn’t lost. Liqueur-filled chocolate and black tea
