Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
하이랜드 북동부 해안가에 자리한 글렌글라사는 짭조름한 바닷바람을 머금은 코스탈 풍미로 알려져 있다. 28년을 숙성한 이 1976년 원액은 잔에 깊은 호박빛을 띠고, 코끝에는 잘 익은 복숭아와 꿀, 옅은 바다 내음이 무르익은 채 번진다. 입에서는 무르익은 과실의 단맛과 밀랍, 가벼운 소금기가 매끄럽게 흐르고 51.9도의 힘이 또렷하게 받쳐 준다. 마무리에는 잘 익은 과일과 짭조름함이 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber – bronze with green hues, almost fluorescent
air Nose
lots of dry sherry! Very meaty right at first nosing, with some hot smoked ham, balsamic vinegar, green tea, gravy. Very little sulphur and rubber (good news?) Goes on with salted liquorice and lovage, before quite some furniture polish, turpentine and eucalyptus emerge. Also some coffee, burnt caramel… Just superb, if you ask me
restaurant Palate
oh yes, classy! Nervous and vivacious despite the heavy sherry, starting on all sorts of caramelized roasted nuts, Smyrna raisins, toasted bread, with hints of high-end grappa. Lots of fudge. Maybe it lacks a little body but nothing to be ashamed of, especially because there are some very unusual notes of spearmint emerging then, together with some citronella, Coca-Cola (just faint hints, don’t worry), ginger… Very complex indeed. One to try, definitely – a beautiful example of ‘sherry’. I love it. 91 points . Glenglassaugh 28 yo 1976 (51.9%, Dormant Distillery Company, cask #2376, 279 bottles)
