Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
하일랜드 해안의 글렌글라사가 바다를 곁에 두고 셰리 벗 속에서 길러낸 1986년이 곱게 빛난다. 짙은 호박빛 아래 28년이 빚은 잘 익은 무화과와 가죽, 옅은 소금기의 향이 깊게 머문다. 43.9도의 도수가 입안에서 건포도와 꿀, 구운 견과를 매끈하게 풀어놓는다. 해안 숙성이 더한 짭짤한 기운이 셰리의 단맛과 어우러져 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
it’s got a ‘crafty’ side for sure, with a youth that shines through (porridge, pears) and some half-sweet, half-spicy oak, very ‘American’. Vanilla, ginger cake, then rather butterscotch and crème brulée. The earthy/bready touches in the background work well, this is not a new-oak bomb
restaurant Palate
a creamy mouth feel, it almost flows like honey, and a very pleasant acidic sweetness mingle with grassy oak. Citron liqueur and green tea, pepper, a few grassy eau-de-vie-ish notes (I’ve distilled spent lees on day, the result had a few similar notes), some bay leaves perhaps… The oak’s influence never stops growing and rather makes me think of European oak this time. But I doubt it’s European oak
timer Finish
rather long, really grassy and bitter, not in a bad way at all. Herb cordial. The vanilla is back in the aftertaste and comes with oranges or citrons
