Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코앞에 두고 흔들면 짙은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 묵직하게 일렁인다. 코끝으로 가져가면 셰리에서 온 건포도와 잘 익은 자두, 바닐라 크림 향이 풍성하게 올라온다. 52.2도를 한 모금 머금으면 글렌로시스다운 둥글고 기름진 질감 위로 말린 과일과 토피, 호두의 단맛이 번진다. 23년 숙성이 셰리의 결을 한층 깊게 끌어올렸고, 삼키면 달큰한 과일 여운이 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
holy Molly, this is something! Litres of nail polish remover, a lot of balsamico, much more compost this time, some glue, more acetone yet… This is almost high-ester whisky, mind you. Well, it's going to be hit or miss, but things are already calming down, it seems. With water: not quite, its geared towards manzanilla now. And towards sherry vinegar
restaurant Palate
huge, high-concentration varnish, something ammoniacal, onion soup, toffee… It is almost 'bacterial' but we do know that bacteria (and batteries, ha) are part of our future. But some acetic sting in whisky? Really? Was it in the sherry? With water: splendid now. Walnuts, seawater, vinegar, varnish
timer Finish
rather long and extremely manzanilla-y
