Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
이스트 하이랜드 포지의 비옥한 보리밭에 둘러싸인 글렌드로낙답게 잔에는 깊은 적갈색이 단단히 머문다. 페드로 히메네스 푼천에서 39년을 보낸 시간이 향과 맛에 또렷이 비친다. 마른 자두와 다크 초콜릿이 먼저 코를 사로잡고 가죽의 향이 그 뒤에 깔린다. 입에서는 빽빽한 건포도와 시럽의 두꺼운 단맛이 흐른다. 49.8도의 도수가 셰리의 깊이를 받치고 여운에는 가죽과 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
