Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
페드로 히메네스 셰리 푼천에서 38년을 보낸 1972년 글렌드로낙의 시간이 잔 가득 묵직한 결과로 펼쳐진다. 향에서는 건포도 시럽과 다크초콜릿, 오래된 가죽이 차례로 일어나고 입에서는 흑설탕 졸임과 무화과잼, 옅은 정향이 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 49.5도라는 도수가 PX의 짙은 단맛을 끈적이지 않게 풀어내며 짙은 마호가니빛이 잔에 깊이 머문 채 단 향신료가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
oil. Sunflower, grape pips, argan, whatever, this reeks of vegetal oil. And then, we have apple juice, grapefruits, pieces of mangos, something delicately floral (lilies), something rather ‘old Highlands’ (old motorbike, why not a Norton?), some carbon paper, drops of ink, new magazine (that would be Whisky Magazine France, of course!)… This nose reminds us that older malts used to be more complex than today’s offerings, however good those are. Facts
restaurant Palate
kills you. Another era, other perspectives, other aims, other goals (whaaaat?) Amazing complexity – and ‘compact fullness’ at the same time. Old Sauternes, some kind of banana liqueur long forgotten in Grandma’s cabinet-just-under-the-telly, many herbal teas, some loud and clear malted barley, a wee metallic touch that often appears in these old bottles by G&M (or Cadenhead)… and all that. Above all, it’s a classy distillate
timer Finish
not too long, of course, but never tired, never dull, and never flabby. Some smoke
