Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 호그스헤드에서 25년을 보낸 숙성이 이 글렌로시스에 단정한 깊이를 빚어냈다. 필앤사이먼 톰슨이 담아낸 만큼 잘 익은 사과와 바닐라, 가벼운 시나몬 향이 부드럽게 비친다. 입에서는 토피와 잘 익은 노란 과일이 매끄러운 질감으로 흐르고, 오크에서 온 옅은 탄닌이 단맛을 다잡는다. 47.5도의 균형 잡힌 도수가 스페이사이드의 우아함을 편안하게 풀어낸다. 금빛 끝에는 꿀과 살구의 따뜻한 여운이 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it starts with a bit of glue and fresh varnish, which is far from unpleasant in this context, then moves on to orchard fruits, starting with greengages and cherries (including their stems and pits). Then we find apricots, quite common in natural Glenrothes, as well as thyme and linden. A bit of coconut in the end, the hogshead was thus far from exhausted
restaurant Palate
starts with a lot of fresh marzipan, pistachios, bitter almonds, then moves on to grapefruit and orange peels, goes through a slightly metallic phase (silver spoon), then comes back to cherries and kirsch, with a rather pronounced stone-y aspect
timer Finish
medium length, with unexpected notes of very young gamay, almost like a Beaujolais nouveau, which I quite like and moreover, it's not really wine (but of course it is). In fact, it's quite close to varnish, cherry stems and fruit peels, and it works very well. One can have wine notes without adding wine, you see
