Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
동부 하이랜드 포기의 셰리 명가 글렌드로낙이 이번에는 소테른 와인 통에 원액을 마무리했다. 12년 소테른 캐스크 피니시는 46도에 수지 같고 밀랍 같은 옛 하이랜드의 결을 담았다. 창백한 황금빛 잔에서 아몬드와 송진, 옅은 올리브유와 자몽 향이 은은하게 오른다. 입안은 맑고 상큼하면서도 기름지고, 뜻밖의 페놀과 왁스, 조개 같은 해안의 짠맛이 감돈다. 여운은 길지 않지만 신선한 박하와 허브, 짭조름한 잔향으로 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
we’ll say it again, you never quite know what comes from bottle ageing or what was in the whisky in the first place, but this is beautifully sappy, resinous, waxy and almondy, although it’s no big spirit. There’s also a little fruity olive oil, touches of newspaper (ink) and then more fruits, rather around pink grapefruits. A wee mustiness too but that’s OBE for sure. Old wine cellar. After fifteen minutes, a lot of apple peelings, which is great
restaurant Palate
perfect! Clean and zesty but also thick and oily, unexpectedly phenolic and waxy, very ‘old Highlands’ in a way. There’s even some salt and a few clams and whelks (any shellfish, really), which gives this old young Glendronach a funny coastal side
timer Finish
sure it’s not the longest but now we find fresh mint and other herbs. The aftertaste is even saltier
