Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
향의 중심에는 잘 익은 배와 꿀, 말린 꽃이 자리 잡아 글렌그란트 특유의 가볍고 맑은 스페이사이드 캐릭터를 보여 준다. 팰럿은 43%의 부드러운 도수에서 사과와 보리 사탕, 옅은 바닐라가 깔끔하게 발전한다. 오랜 병 숙성을 거친 25년 원액답게 질감이 둥글고 정돈되어 있다. 피니시는 중간 길이로 맥아의 단맛과 마른 풀 향이 단정하게 이어진다. 여왕 즉위 기념 보틀링다운 절제된 완성도가 끝까지 유지된다.

Colour
very pale gold

what's amazing is that you can really spot the share DNA between this and the 1972, which is to say: honeybomb! It's really a stunning combination of flower honeys with sea salt, pure honeycomb, beeswax, linseed oils, hessian and camphor. Rather like the pure refill 1972s but with added subtle peat influence, that manifests more as herbs, roots and medicines, and a bigger and more vivid waxiness

We needn't have worried too much. It's a beautiful arrival full of herbal liqueurs, many more medicinal and herbal qualities, the honey character is there, but it feels older, saltier, drier, more like some very well aged mead. Then there's also this beautiful coconut note, which feels reminiscent of some older G&M malts from the late 1930s, so potentially coming from old American oak ex-sherry casks? Continues with many dried fruits, pressed flowers, mineral oils, bouillon, dried tarragon and suet. Still heavily on waxes and camphor in the background. Amazing complexity while also possessing an incredible elegance and almost fragility, but without actually being fragile, if you see what I mean
timer Finish
long, perfectly drying, lightly salty, full of herbal medicinal notes, furniture polish and mineral oils again
