Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
세월이 짙게 밴 깊은 호박빛이 잔 속에 무겁게 잠겨 있다. 1967년의 글렌로시스답게 오래된 가죽과 잘 익은 무화과, 밀랍의 그윽한 향이 천천히 피어오른다. 33년의 긴 시간은 입에서 꿀과 마른 대추, 흙내 어린 오크의 농축된 단맛으로 두껍게 흐른다. 48.5도의 도수는 끝에서 옅은 향신료와 묵은 과일의 여운을 길게 남기며 가라앉는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it’s rather a ‘crystalline’ one again, in the style of the JMcA, except that a part of the fruits got tropical, which happens quite often with old bottles. Now many tropical fruits were to be found in 1960s distillations, so perhaps a matter of yeast rather than anything else. What were they using? So, mangos, bananas, apples, then a little camphor, menthol cigarettes, leather grease, a few drops of soy sauce, and just one of properly-aged genuine balsamic vinegar. A fantastic nose, I have to say
restaurant Palate
an amazing fruity arrival, with, well, just the same fruits, in the very same proportions. And then come the cough syrup, the mint drops, the pinesap, and superb notes of tangerines. Amazingly fresh, complex, firm and light at the same time. As we sometimes say, it’s dangerously drinkable, but no worries, these bottles are now very hard to find
timer Finish
medium; perhaps a tad oaky now. A lot of tea. Loses one or two points at this stage
