Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 호그스헤드에서 37년을 보낸 시간이 향과 입에서 또렷이 드러난다. 1974년 증류해 SMWS가 단일 캐스크로 골라낸 글렌글라사 21.28은 48.1도로 도수가 안정되어 있다. 노즈에서는 잘 익은 망고와 패션프루트, 옅은 코코넛이 열대 과수원처럼 펼쳐진다. 입에서는 꿀에 절인 파인애플과 살구의 단맛이 미끄러지듯 흐른다. 색은 짙은 황금빛, 여운은 마지팬과 옅은 바닐라로 우아하게 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
a lot happening in this one! We get the same grassy and mineral notes as in the 1979 but it’s all coated with fruitier and jammier touches. In other words, a fun mixture of orange liqueurs with cough syrup and olive oil. After ten minutes, we have more juicy raisins and, indeed, dates. Lovely nose, complex and movie-esque. Meaning it changes a lot, always for the better. The olive oil never stops growing and I love olive oil
restaurant Palate
flipside, there’s a lot of oak. But a lot of oak can also mean more oils, herbs and spices and when it’s all balanced, well, it works. So yeah, we have sawdust and a glue-ish side, but the way it unfolds on citrus fruits and jams, dried fruits, bananas, coconut (wee touches) and pineapples is rather entrancing. And again, it just wouldn’t stop improving, even the oak gets tamed after one or two minutes, which is pretty miraculous
timer Finish
long, spicy and jammy. It’s only in the aftertaste that the heavy oak becomes a little embarrassing, that pat isn’t too enjoyable. You have to keep sipping away s that the aftertaste never happens. Err, that would be costly…
