Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 토니 포트 캐스크가 준 건포도와 자두, 허브가 먼저 두드러진다. 시간이 지나며 호두와 발사믹 같은 개성적인 뉘앙스가 발전한다. 팰럿은 46도의 질감 속에 검은 건포도와 모카, 오드비에 절인 체리의 단맛이 단단하게 이어진다. 글렌드로낙답게 옛 브랜디를 떠올리게 하는 고풍스러운 스타일이 또렷하다. 여운은 라즈베리 잼과 다크초콜릿의 단맛으로 깔끔하게 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full amber
air Nose
starts well on raisins and prunes but it’s soon to get rather weird, with herbal (nice!) and cheesy notes (hard in this context). Imagine a combination of parsley/sage with gym socks and camembert. Gets even mouldier then, all on old rotten wood (old abandoned wine barrels), saltpetre and mushrooms (say, oyster mushrooms). It has its moments (nice balsamic notes) but the whole is frankly too shaky for my taste, even if it does settle down after a good twenty minutes (on walnuts)
restaurant Palate
I must say this is nicer now, even if the attack is a little thin. Dry raisins (large black ones), mocha, chocolate, cherries in eau-de-vie, toffee… Not very complicated but the style is very nice, kind of antique, sometimes closer to some brandy
timer Finish
not long but clean and all on raspberry jam and dark chocolate this time
