Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오크 캐스크에서 서른아홉 해를 보낸 1968년 글렌로시스의 시간이 농익은 과일과 꿀로 천천히 풀려나온다. 잘 익은 복숭아와 살구, 오렌지 마멀레이드의 향이 겹겹이 피어오른다. 48.2도의 입안은 꿀과 바닐라, 옅은 오크 탄닌이 매끈하게 흐른다. 마흔 해에 가까운 숙성이 스페이사이드 과실을 깊은 단맛으로 농축했고, 짙은 황금빛 너머 여운은 달콤하고 우아하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold-amber
air Nose
very similar to the old 8yo despite the extra-12 years in wood. Maybe even drier. Takes off very slowly, with a gentle honeyness and hints of pollen and dandelions. Smoked tea, herbal teas (chamomile), roasted nuts, hints of orange zests and fresh butter. Rather subtle, certainly not big. Actually, this one is curiously ‘silent’, even after a good fifteen minutes. Restricted indeed ;-)
restaurant Palate
again, this is no big whisky, but it’s a bit more talkative than on the nose. Malt, ‘dark’ honeys, cappuccino, burned bread... Grows bigger at the middle, more candied and caramelised. Milk chocolate, nougat... Quite some tannins in the background, that make it a bit drying
timer Finish
rather short, malty and tea-ish
