Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 오래 숙성한 셰리 캐스크에서 온 건포도와 무화과, 가죽의 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 팰럿에서는 1956년 빈티지를 30년 묵힌 글렌로시스답게 농축된 다크 토피와 호두, 마른 향신료가 또렷하게 이어지며 깊이가 인상적이다. 40도의 낮은 도수에도 풍미의 밀도가 견고하게 유지된다. 피니시는 마른 과일과 은은한 오크가 길게 남아, 고든 앤 맥페일이 고른 올드 빈티지의 원숙함이 분명하게 드러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
holy featherless crow! Starts magnificently on pecan nuts, wax polish and sandalwood, all that being rather delicate and certainly not powerful, but it does talk a lot. There’s something of the old pre-war Macallans by the same bottlers, especially the huge complexity and elegance. At random, we have also a little motor oil, camphor, new leather, fig liqueur, walnuts, honeydew, old books, tarte tatin, overripe apples… Sadly, it does lose steam after a few minutes, fading away like a precious old wine (or some very old rum)
restaurant Palate
indeed it’s no big whisky and maybe it’s a tad drying now, but it’s also relatively fresher, with touches of apples, plums and pears before it becomes a little more cardboardy and tea-ish. Walnuts again, Seville oranges, then more and more cinnamon from the oak
timer Finish
short and dry, with only touches of white pepper and oranges in the aftertaste
