Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 빛에 비추면 35년을 퍼스트필 셰리 캐스크에서 보낸 글렌앨러키 애니버서리 셀렉션의 짙은 마호가니빛이 잔에 일렁인다. 코끝에 가져가면 35년 셰리 숙성답게 묵은 건포도와 무화과, 그리고 다크 초콜릿 향이 가장 먼저 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 46.9도가 부드럽게 입천장을 덮으며 가죽과 시가 박스의 풍미가 굴러간다. 삼키고 나면 스페셜리티 드링크스 애니버서리답게 깊은 셰리의 단맛이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
it’s not an exceptionally monstrous sherry but some sherry there is, as it starts all on notes of old red wine, balsamic vinegar (only touches) and ‘new’ leather. It’s actually close to sherry as such and far from chocolate, prunes and jams if you see what I mean. Whiffs of old wine cellar, saltpetre, flints, touches of farmyard, horse saddle, oyster sauce, game… Isn’t all that a bit like a 1934 Chambertin? ;-). Also a lot of cigarette tobacco (newly opened pack of, say Camels?)
restaurant Palate
yes, indeed, an old wine! Some rancio like in some old cognacs, prunes this time, milk chocolate, quinces, cherries, coffee and that leatheriness that’s not too far from matches and gunflints but that’s not, well, that thing very en vogue at some writers’ if you say what I mean. What’s sure is that I like these notes
timer Finish
rather long, perfectly balanced, which isn’t always the case with these old sherry-infused malts. Cpffee, cherry jam and a little capsicum in the aftertaste
