GlenAllachie 12 Year

Nose: initially got apple which disappeared quickly for a more general sweet aroma, eventually making way for caramel, vanilla, and butterscotch. Floral at the end. Adding a splash of water added some tropical fruit note. Taste: Follows the nose. Initial fresh fruit overcome by caramel, butterscotch, with earthy, nutty, and bitter/sour notes. With a splash of water, even more caramel and nutty notes come through and the bitter note tapers off. Fruit notes are still not coming through for me. Finish: alternating between earthy malt and spice. Dry and numbing, accentuated by alcohol burn. With water, the alcohol burn tapers off and in its place some warm grain and herbal notes are coming through. Overall, I wish this was a bit more balanced with the fruit flavors that I got on the nose coming through a bit more on the palate. The alcohol burn on the finish is a bit off putting. I initially reviewed this without water and gave it a lower score. A splash of water really improved the complexity of the nose and took off the unpleasant bitter notes from the palate and tapered the alcohol burn on the finish. It brought out a bit of more of the malty and sweet characteristics off of the palate.

4.15 향: 바닐라, 건포도, 토피~초콜릿 사이 맛: 한모금 하자마자 느껴지는 매운맛 그뒤로 구운바나나 그리거 산수유나 과숙한 포도? 뉘앙스 마무리는 생강과 다크초콜릿의 매콤쌉쌀한맛 뭔가 버진오크 때문인지 타닌느낌이 좀 거친점 빼고는 매우 만족스러움 ㅎ 재구매의사는 가격만 적절하다면 매우 있음 풀쉐리는 아니지만 다 비운 잔에 킁킁했을 때 쉐리 꼬순내도 꽤 남 72000 바이배럴 뽑기로 구매 앞으로 리뷰좀 길게 써보자

Flaviar Scotch Vol. 2 taster #2 - rich in both color and taste, I’d definitely buy a bottle of this..

結構辛口 だけど慣れると美味しい。 比較的安く、この価格帯ではお得かも。 It’s very dry. But It’s an acquired taste. Not expensive, such a good Whiskey.
