Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가만히 기울이면 깊은 황금빛이 오랜 세월의 무게를 머금고 흘러내린다. 코를 가까이 대면 1968년 글렌로시스다운 잘 익은 망고와 밀랍, 오래된 도서관 같은 묵은 오크향이 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 45.5도의 부드러운 질감이 혀에 닿아 열대 과일과 꿀, 가벼운 향신료로 번진다. 버번 캐스크에서 37년을 보낸 깊이를 삼키면, 농익은 과실과 오크의 우아한 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw (surprisingly pale)
air Nose
a tad less richly fruity than the 1969, and rather more citrusy, which is a tad unusual with old Glenrothes in my experience. Also a wee bit grassier but other than that, pollens, honeys and ripe apples and plums are well there yet again. A nice, elegant nose
restaurant Palate
this baby was a tad more discreet than the 1969 on the nose, but it's the opposite that happens on the palate, even if this one has more apparent oak (and spices, especially cinnamon). A bigger body too. Citrons, maybe a little mustard from the wood, pepper, ginger, bitter orange marmalade… I think this one was bottled at the right moment, as the oak grows bigger over time
timer Finish
long, peppery, spicy, a tad tea-ish. Orange marmalade
