Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 오래된 셰리가 빚어낸 야생 체리와 자두 노트가 명확하게 드러나고 시가 박스와 낡은 가죽 오래된 책의 뉘앙스가 뒤따른다. 입에서는 설탕에 조린 체리와 초콜릿 그랑 마니에가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 몰트 추출액의 단맛이 감돈다. 1981년 병입된 25년 글렌 그란트 로열 웨딩 리저브로 40도임에도 구조가 단단하다. 여운은 은은한 산미가 균형을 잡으며 중간 길이로 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber/brown with red hues
air Nose
aw! Once again, there’s a lot of sherry but this time we’re much more on old Chambertin, with these exceptional notes of wild cherries and a smokiness that’s not to be found in Springbank anymore. You may add to that a litany of ‘secondary’ aromas such as prunes, cigar box, ‘old Jaguar’ (sounds very pre-credit crunch, doesn’t it!), horse saddle, black truffles (and something petrol-like), old books… Better stop now
restaurant Palate
punchy and invading, thick and oily yet elegant, still on crystallised cherries and prunes, with quite some chocolate, Grand-Marnier, hints of malt extract (just hints!), stout and burned cake (brownies). More cherries after that and an unexpectedly growing fruitiness (even more cherries!)
timer Finish
medium long, with a very faint sourness that may be this one’s only flaw – and a tiny one
