Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1968년 글렌드로낙이 셰리 캐스크에서 25년의 시간을 거치며 도달한 묵은 가죽, 짙은 다크 초콜릿, 말린 자두의 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 팰럿은 43도의 절제된 도수에서도 셰리의 마른 단맛과 호두의 견과가 균형 있게 발전한다. 1968년 빈티지 특유의 응축된 캐릭터가 명확하게 드러나며 구조감이 단단하게 잡혀 있다. 디스틸러리 보틀링의 싱글 캐스크가 잡아낸 글렌드로낙의 깊은 시간이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 피니시는 매우 길고 묵직하게 이어진다. 1968년 글렌드로낙의 응축된 셰리 캐릭터를 또렷이 보여 주는 기념비적 보틀이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
this extremely typical profile that meshes old style malt whisky with old bottle effect. Metal and shoe polishes with mechanical oils, greasy toolbox rags, hessian and a rather light and fragrant peat with herbal shades. Getting rather sooty and also meaty with many meat stocks, bouillon, bone marrow and coal smoke. A style which just does not exist at all anywhere in today’s world as far as I’m aware. Sheep wool, mutton, suet, linseed oil, mushroom tea. Hypnotically fascinating stuff that you could nose and dissect for hours
restaurant Palate
it’s peatier than I recall, but perhaps time away from the bottle with a touch of air has done that. I’d also say it feels weightier than 43%. There’s a lot of dry herbs, wee tarry notes, black pepper, smoked teas and its extremely camphory with olive and cod-liver oils. Some more metallic touches which is this OBE coming through again. Peaty, savoury, roots, umami and full of turf, dried herbs, meat stocks and various broths and soups
timer Finish
good length, on metal polish, black pepper, wood spices, lanolin, camphor, tar, soot and leaf mulch. Some wonderfully soft and spicy peat smoke in the aftertaste
