Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 호그스헤드에서 40년을 거친 글렌글라사 1978의 짙은 황금빛이 잔 안쪽을 천천히 흘러내린다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 잘 익은 망고와 살구, 묵은 꿀의 열대 과일 향이 풍성하게 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 40.9%의 도수에도 40년이라는 시간이 입안에서 풍부한 과일과 부드러운 바닐라, 옅은 오크의 결로 풀려나간다. 삼킨 뒤에도 글렌글라사 특유의 트로피컬 잔향이 입천장에 오래 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
bonbons coated with some kind of oak liqueur, bergamots, earl grey, powdered porcinis, paprika… It’s very unusual, although it would tend to fall back into line after a few minutes, with more cakes, marmalade, and cinnamon cake. Now the dried porcinis remain there, cowering in the shadows, together with some small juniper berries. Oh the vision…
restaurant Palate
I believe this one went too far; it’s become fragile and I think the oak has taken over. A lot of tea, cocoa powder, cinnamon, cardboard… It’s a bit bizarre that they would have bottled this one, unless it lost some power superfast in the bottle. You never know with large corks, although accidents are very rare in my book
timer Finish
short, tea-ish, cardboardy. And yet the spirit did not get opaque at all, it’s clear as daylight
