Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 옥타브에서 익은 글렌로시스가 잔에 짙은 호박빛으로 잠긴다. 작은 통이 입힌 코에는 말린 자두와 흑설탕, 구운 견과의 향이 빽빽하게 모여 오른다. 입에서는 건포도 단맛과 향신료가 두꺼운 질감으로 번지며 다크초콜릿의 쌉쌀함이 그 끝을 받친다. 53.4도의 도수가 진한 풍미를 단단히 받치고, 가죽과 묵은 오크의 여운이 길고 깊게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
Light amber
air Nose
Again we’re in rather honeyed territory, only this time with added shoe polish, herb butter and some pretty crisp, fresh cereals. Weetabix, cornflakes and some Cinnamon Graham’s (I used to adore them when I was... ah, actually I still adore them). There is a leafy quality and a green aspect about it as well, some ripe apples, gooseberry and pears poached in calvados. With water: really beautiful now, lots of lanolin, olive oil, mint, jam sponge cake and some top quality grappa
restaurant Palate
superb! It’s really a similar profile to the 1990, with all this honey, subtle spice, elegant, supple earthiness, wee touches of hessian cloth and lamp oil. Glenrothes ay, who knew! I don’t really detect any kind of over or lopsided cask trickery. Given blind I’d never have even mentioned the word ‘octave’. Goes on with a little nutmeg and some wood spice. With water: herbal, resinous, touches of ointment and many crystallized fruits. Some star fruit and a little green banana
timer Finish
Long, oily, honeyed, lots of yellow flowers, pollen, citrus rind and a tiny nibble of pepper
