Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝으로 가져가면 글렌드로낙 8년 옥타린이 셰리에 짙게 물들기 전의 맑고 솔직한 향을 보여준다. 향을 들이켜면 바닐라와 황금빛 건포도, 버터스카치와 쇼트브레드의 단 내음이 맥아 위로 올라온다. 46도의 술을 한 모금 머금으면 구운 견과와 오발틴, 진저브레드의 고소함이 번지며 하이랜드다운 단단한 펀치가 살아난다. 삼킨 뒤에는 담배와 가죽, 볶은 땅콩의 끝맛이 풀잎 같은 여운으로 이어진다.

air Nose
indeed, this is much more ‘naked’ Glendronach, almost spirit-driven, even if the vanilla’s rather big. Some sides remind me of Macallan ‘FO’, if you see what I mean, but this Glendronach packs more punch. Nice malty notes, butterscotch, golden raisins, cake, shortbread, a little beeswax, a flowery side (dandelions)… It’s nice, it’s really nice. Like this maltiness a lot
restaurant Palate
there is some punch, something slightly rougher than what’s in ‘colleagues’ Macallan or, say Glenmorangie, with roasted nuts, Ovaltine, gingerbread, touches of stout beer, walnut cake… In fact it’s rather clearly more ‘Highlands’ than ‘Speyside’. But we’re in the Highlands indeed, aren’t we?
timer Finish
more malty goodness, more Ovaltine, tobacco, a wee leathery side, raw peanuts… All good. Grassier, even leafier aftertaste
