Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 버트에서 12년을 보낸 시간이 빌리 워커 체제로 주목받는 이 글렌알라키에 차곡한 깊이를 새겼다. 잘 익은 사과와 보리 사탕, 옅은 생강 향이 향에 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입에서는 꿀과 토피, 가벼운 셰리 단맛이 매끄러운 질감으로 흐르고, 48.4도의 도수가 균형을 단단히 잡는다. 리필 캐스크답게 우드가 과하지 않아 증류소 본연의 결이 잘 드러난다. 짙은 금빛 끝에는 보리와 생강의 따뜻한 여운이 오래 이어진다.

air Nose
it’s utterly fascinating to compare these two babies, as I suppose the base malt was the same fine but slightly ‘neutral’ juice. Long story short, where you were having shortbread, maple syrup, croissants and butterscotch, you would rather find old cellar, bits of metal, earth and chalk, coffee dregs, mead, chestnut honey, butter cream, and sweet white wine, Sauternes-style. I find it a little more complex, less polished and less polite
restaurant Palate
definitely earthy and pretty gingery, with a much bigger rooty side, more nutmeg and coriander (seeds), acidic coffee, touches of chilli, quite a lot of cocoa powder, and tiny bits of bitter oranges
timer Finish
rather long, spicy and earthy, a little sour in a good way, with a little fig jam and chestnut honey keeping it civilised
