향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
엷은 볏짚빛이 잔 안에서 맑게 반짝인다. 지금과 사뭇 다른 옛 스타일의 글렌모렌지 1980은, 코끝에서 갓 자른 배와 버터, 진한 해초와 바닷내음, 열대 과일의 향을 겹겹이 피워 올린다. 1980년 증류해 10년을 보낸 이 희귀한 위스키는 56.8도의 힘으로 장뇌와 감초, 굴과 훈제 생선의 짭조름한 풍미를 강렬하게 새긴다. 약재 같은 미네랄과 흰 후추가 골격을 세우며, 여운은 소금기와 마른 기운이 입천장을 오래 붙잡는다.

색상
straw (just a little lighter than the G&M)
air 아로마 (코)
much fruitier than the G&M at first nosing (freshly cut pear), with some butter and creme. Then comes the peat, again very maritime (bold seaweed) and then some tropical fruits a la Bowmore (I mean, Bowmore as it was in the 60s). The whole is superb again, more complex and bolder than the G&M, but perhaps a little less ‘pure’. Feint hints of aniseed, dill, fresh parsley. It keeps developing after ten minutes, getting a little medicinal (camphor) and slightly peppery (white pepper). Let’s be clear: I love it. Some dried fruits strike back, like dried pineapple or guava. Hard to say which one I like best for now, between the G&M and the official… Both are stunning
restaurant 맛 (팔레트)
wow, what a bold and strong attack! Very, very medicinal and ‘rooty’: camphor, gentian spirit, liquorice stick, horseradish… Yet, the balance is perfect, this time. It then gets very peppery and salty while the malt really invades your mouth, together with some maritime flavours like oysters, smoked fish, glassworts. What a beast indeed! Perhaps it’s not overly complex, but what a great ‘compactness’! The finish is very long and salty, getting more and more drying (the tongue ‘sticks’ to the palate). Again, a stunning nose, but also a great mouth, perhaps just lacking some extra-complexity to make it to 95 points or more in my book. 94 points , then. CHRISTMAS WHISKY ADS - left: Crown Royal, 1979 - ' Can you look this man straight in the eye and honestly say you deserve Crown Royal?. ' Erm... the answer is 'no'. Right: Chivas Regal, 1982 - ' Why settle for Champagne?'. The answer is 'because I prefer champagne in this situation'. In other words, never ask questions. MUSIC - Recommended listening - especially for a good laugh: Willie Nelson singing the Whisky Waltzer in... German! That was in... 1964 - and his accent was absolutely terrific! Try it again, Mr Nelson: 'Ich trink einen Whisky, und ich denk' an dich...' Hard, these 'ch', eh? (Via great website allcountry.de ) December 19, 2004 CHRISTMAS WHISKY ADS - left: Crown Royal, 1984 - ' Anyone who has to work on Christmas Eve deserves a lot more than milk and cookies. ' Right: Crown Royal, 1989- ' No title'. Christmas ads are usually much less creative than normal, very codified and somewhat 'rushed', but these Seagram ads are, let's say 'above' the average, especially the one from 1989. Yeah well, at least we're in the mood... TASTING – HEAD TO HEAD, OLD AND NEW HIGH-STRENGTH GLENMORANGIES Glenmorangie 10 yo ‘100 proof’ (57.2%, OB, circa 1999)
