Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
윤기 어린 금빛이 잔에 부드럽게 어린다. 아메리칸 오크와 셰리, 버진 오크를 함께 쓴 글렌알라키 18년은 통조림 복숭아와 배 케이크, 말린 파파야, 생강 쿠키의 둥근 향을 풀어놓고 호두 같은 셰리와 오발틴이 깊이를 더한다. 46도의 입안에서는 풀내음과 생강, 오크 향신료, 담뱃잎의 쌉쌀함이 또렷하게 번지며 성격이 한층 도전적이다. 여운은 길지만 씁쓸하게 이어지며 씁쓸한 오렌지와 호두, 새 오크의 잔향을 오래 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
oh this is different, much rounder than the 12, and rather more on tinned peaches, pear cake, dried papayas, ginger cookies, some kind of not-too-sweet honey, perhaps even a drop of mead… It partly reminds me of those wonderful older Glenallachies that some indies were having around eight years ago (Whisky Agency and compadres). Great touches of walnut-like sherry too, Ovaltine…
restaurant Palate
I’m afraid it’s a little more difficult, grassy, bitter, slightly sour, gingery, leafy… Some oak spices, sucking tobacco leaves… Well, once thing they couldn’t add to the label is the killing word ‘smooth’
timer Finish
long, but rather very bitter. Bitter oranges, old walnuts, grape pips, new oak. Curious about the layer of ‘wood treatment’ they’ve added to these batches, which should have been rounder and fresher, according to the lovely nose
