Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌려 향을 깨우면 맑은 황금빛이 유리 안쪽을 타고 흐른다. 코를 가져가면 글렌드로낙 헤일런다운 몰트의 향이 또렷하고, 버터스카치와 황금빛 건포도, 쇼트브레드의 달큰함이 겹친다. 한 모금 머금으면 46도의 도수가 구운 견과와 오발틴, 진저브레드, 스타우트 맥주의 구수함을 혀 위에 펼치며 하이랜드다운 힘을 드러낸다. 삼킨 뒤에는 담배와 가죽, 볶은 땅콩의 여운이 은근하게 남아 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
