Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
글렌글라사 1973 빈티지를 리필 셰리 호그스헤드에서 41년 숙성한 The Malt Whisky Company 싱글 캐스크. 43.9도의 절제된 도수가 시간이 정제한 캐릭터를 드러낸다. 노즈는 묵은 가죽과 트로피컬 과실, 마른 풀이 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 망고와 헤이즐넛, 약한 셰리 향신료로 발전한다. 균형이 단단하다. 피니시는 절제된 오크 향신료가 길게 이어진다. 폐쇄기를 거친 글렌글라사의 보석.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
could one use a mix of curry powder and antiseptic to smoke malted barley? Odd question, I know, but I do get quite some curry and quite some antiseptic, which is a combination that’s not as, well, as odd as you would think. Then we find more bandages and lemon juice, which is all fine. It’s actually got something slightly Laphroaiggy, not a bad benchmark for sure
restaurant Palate
it’s not that I’m a peat head (I can hear you!), but the young distillate offered more resistance to the octaves, and the oak’s grassy/gingery side seems to be better integrated. Nice notes of lemongrass too, but the medicinal side has been lost on the palate. After all, Glenglassaugh’s not quite a coastal distillery, is it (I know some industry people are claiming that the whole of Scotland is coastal, which should imply that the place where you mature your whiskies does not matter. A long debate, not for here and not for now…)
timer Finish
rather long, balanced, zesty/grassy and smoky. More ginger and pepper again in the aftertaste, that’s the octaves
