Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 호그스헤드가 37년이라는 긴 시간에 걸쳐 글렌 엘긴의 스피릿에 잘 익은 과실과 꿀의 결을 차곡차곡 새겼다. 1975년 빈티지답게 향은 말린 살구와 꿀, 열대 과일의 단맛이 우아하게 솟는다. 47.6도의 입안에서는 바닐라와 멜론, 구운 견과가 매끈한 질감으로 흐르며 오랜 숙성의 쌉쌀함이 단맛을 받친다. 세월이 결을 둥글게 다듬는다. 짙은 황금빛 뒤로 여운은 꿀과 마른 오크가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
yes! This one is rounder, softer, better polished, and reminds me more of the very excellent 1984 Liquid Sun than of the other 1975s. We're actually having a kind of blend of all things honeyed (comb, nectar, beehive wood...) with the same kinds of chalky notes as in the others, plus these orchard fruits, first apples as almost always. Now this is a nice nose!
restaurant Palate
it's simply zestier than the other 1975s, and I enjoy that. Oranges join the apples again, marmalade, herbs and spices from the oak, honeys and honeydews... And maybe these green bananas again?
timer Finish
long, oakier and spicier, but maybe a notch less green and biting, maybe thanks to a higher dose of good old American vanillin
