Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 적갈빛이 잔에 깊이 잠겨 있다. 하이랜드 글렌글라소의 1978년 빈티지가 포트 호그스헤드에서 35년을 보낸 시간이 향에서 가장 먼저 드러난다. 잘 익은 자두와 붉은 베리, 옅은 가죽의 결이 코끝을 채운다. 입에서는 와인의 단맛과 흑설탕, 미세한 정향이 풀바디로 흐른다. 41.6도의 도수는 시간이 둥글게 다듬어 둔 듯 부드럽다. 여운에는 옅은 와인 탄닌과 한 점의 약초, 마른 허브가 잔잔히 깃들어 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
well, as we know, it's not mandatory to use great wines to make great whiskies, we've seen it with countless grand crus of Bordeaux. A grand cru does not make your whisky a grand cru. In any case, it's a magnificent nose, with all sorts of nuts, ointments and oils, superior to a 33-year-old 1978 ex-Massandra which was still very good (WF 85). Beautiful hints of the exhaust from an old English V12 (that's it, that's it...)
restaurant Palate
the blend has worked perfectly. There's a bit of mustard and perfect sultanas (was it malmsey-style?) then damp earth, mushrooms, humus, old walnut wine, salty touches, and especially, a magnificent sweet-salty side. Dates stuffed with salted marzipan
timer Finish
not very long but very balanced. Always this very nice earthy side, then liqueur, probably the 'Madeira' that has taken over. We're not complaining
