Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드의 글렌알라키가 셰리 벗에서 서른여덟 해를 견딘 1972 빈티지다. 짙은 마호가니빛이 잔에 진하게 어린다. 오랜 셰리가 빚은 말린 무화과와 오렌지 껍질, 오래된 목재의 향이 장중하게 풀려난다. 50도의 입맛은 흑설탕과 다크 초콜릿, 묵은 향신료가 또렷하게 어우러지며 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 사십 년에 가까운 여운은 가죽과 진한 오크, 쌉쌀한 카카오로 깊게 머물며 길게 이어진다.

pale gold

ah yes, I remember well some of the Glenallachies I already tried, this one displays some of their aromas, that is to say something ‘chemical’. The main difference is that these ‘chemical’ notes (say concentrated lemon juice) are well integrated here, and even give the spirit much personality. Quite some grass as well, waxed papers, dry white wine (hectolitres of Riesling, serious!) It’s a very unusual malt for sure. Let’s see how it behaves under H2O. With water: it became grassier, more papery and almost closed. Faint hints of cheese (say… gouda)
restaurant Palate
funny, it became almost Rosebanky! A very oily mouth feel and a lemony profile that’s still very unusual. A bitterness in the background… Olive oil? With water: really good now. Lime juice, cactus juice, lemon oil, marzipan…
