Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 묵은 가죽과 마른 담뱃잎이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 1969 빈티지의 38년 시간이 만든 절제된 향이 명확하게 드러나며 41.5도 ABV의 차분한 강도가 글렌로시스의 깊이를 단단하게 받친다. 팰럿에서는 호두 오일과 마른 무화과, 흑차가 발전하고 오크 영향이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 피니시는 마른 향신료와 미세한 단맛이 길게 발전한다. 던컨 테일러 레어 올드 시리즈의 구조감이 명확하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
oh, this is interesting, we have whiffs of seaweed butter (from Bordier’s – please see picture), smoked tea and mint at first nosing, with also faint whiffs of eucalyptus and hints of camphor. It gets then more classically grassy and vanilled, delicately honeyed… The balance is perfect and the oak rather discreet for now. Let’s check the palate…
restaurant Palate
of course it’s not powerful and yes there is quite some oak now but it’s still very pleasant, nicely bitter, a little vegetal, with the spices from the wood taking control after a moment (pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, maybe hints of mustard). Not an athlete anymore but it’s perfectly drinkable and especially the finish is interesting, with quite some salt that must come from the wood. Lacks maybe a little more fruits and honey. 87 points . Glenrothes 38 yo 1969/2007 (41.5%, Duncan Taylor, cask #383)
