Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 하이랜드 글렌글라사 특유의 옅은 소금기와 잘 익은 과일 향으로 시작한다. 1978년 빈티지답게 묵은 오크와 꿀, 마른 과일이 명확하게 드러나며 해안 증류소의 미네랄이 느껴진다. 52도의 팰럿은 보리 단맛과 구운 과일, 가벼운 향신료가 균형 있게 발전한다. 피니시는 시트러스와 미네랄, 오크가 중간 길이로 이어지며, 20년 숙성의 원숙한 구조감이 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
this is great, with superb notes of crystallised oranges, baklavas, leather, smoked tea and even something like ‘peat’ (granted, there isn’t any peat). Rose-scented soap (pleasant here), lychees, orange blossom… And back on plain oranges. Perfectly constructed as far as the nose is concerned, and no obvious ‘vinosity’
restaurant Palate
rich, complex, fruity (oranges galore), honeyed, spicy and mineral. It’s very winey in fact, but it works very well, maybe because of the wine’s trademark dryness. It’s not the first time that I prefer Madeira over other finishings (like, say at Benriach’s). Gets more candied and even caramelly as well as simpler after a moment, but it’s still very good
timer Finish
long, more toffee-ish
