Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1969년 빈티지 글렌로씨스 특유의 잘 익은 무화과와 옅은 자두의 셰리 향이 가장 먼저 명확하게 두드러진다. 42년 숙성과 신선한 셰리 옥타브 피니시의 영향이 가죽과 호두기름의 구조로 발전하며 44.7도의 절제된 강도로 균형감이 단단하다. 팰럿은 다크초콜릿과 잘 익은 살구잼의 단맛이 입천장을 묵직하게 덮고 정연한 구조감이 드러난다. 피니시는 길고 후반에 정향과 옅은 향나무가 또렷이 깃들어 있다.

it’s the menthol that comes out first, sign of age, followed by many stewed fruits and a wide range of resinous/sappy tones including beeswax and propolis. Then it’s fruitcake galore and yet again, a feeling of old Demerara rum (like Port Mourant). And then, more and more smoke, which come unexpected. Old coal stove, lovage... Complex and beautiful
restaurant Palate
as often with these old malts, the first sips won’t tell you whether it’ll be over-oaked or not. Seems to hesitate quite a bit, before starting to unfold in a beautiful manner, forgetting the oak and becoming wonderfully ‘beehivy’ and ‘tertiarily fruity’ (that’s more than enough, S.!) Many jams and honeys, chutneys, orange and caramel sauce…
timer Finish
medium long, with more and more ‘sweetish oak’. It’s not dry oak, it’s a kind of, like I said, sweet oak. Or rather a blend of herbal teas with a little honey? Liquorice rolls in the aftertaste, and big time. An earthiness as well, and cinnamon
