Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
글렌그란트 1963은 옛 스페이사이드의 증류 방식을 담은 희귀 보틀링으로, 40도지만 결코 가볍지 않다. 노즈에서는 은은한 피트와 민트, 무화과와 밀랍이 명확하게 드러나고 오래된 가죽이 뒤를 받친다. 입에서는 짭짤함과 쌉싸름한 허브, 크렘 드 멘트가 또렷하게 발전하며 구조감이 살아 있다. 지금의 글렌그란트에서는 보기 힘든 페놀릭한 개성이 인상적이고, 여운은 드라이하고 훈연이 감돌며 소금기로 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
peat indeed! Not a raw and roaring peat of course, but I’m sure the whisky was quite peaty when it was distilled. Second good news: no weakness, no lightness, no wobbliness at 40% or (now) a little less. Splendid mint again, putty, metal polish, figs, kumquats, beeswax, leather, cough syrup (evolved peat?), a little antiseptic… Now, it does tend to become a little more cardboardy or ‘old-bookish’, but that also comes with more mint, verbena, aniseed, dill or even… straight absinth? Quite fabuloso
restaurant Palate
ha! This baby is tireless and it’s even big, imagine… There’s a saltiness, bitter herbs, crème de menthe… All quite superb. However the middle is a notch weaker, kind of jumbled up, and what comes out after that is more salt and bitter oils. I’d have never said this was Glen Grant
timer Finish
of medium length, very phenolic, dry, slightly metallic, smoky. Salty aftertaste. Also chlorophyll and agaves
