Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
페일 골드빛이 잔에 맑게 어린다. 1990년 증류해 호그스헤드에서 25년을 보낸 글렌 그란트는 금속 광택제 같은 서늘함과 초록빛 나무 연기, 분홍 바나나, 백단향에 벌집의 단내가 얽혀 페놀릭한 옛 코냑을 닮았다. 56.6도의 술은 처음엔 까슬하다가 유칼립투스와 쓴 마지팬, 민트, 계피 케이크로 화려하게 피어오르며 갓 짠 블러드 오렌지의 결을 남긴다. 여운은 멘톨과 왁스, 꿀의 결이 이어지되 끝은 살짝 건조하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
ah yes, those Glen Grants. You know, metal polish, green wood smoke, pink bananas, sandalwood, and all things from a hive. In a way, you could call this a phenolic old Cognac. Quite superb
restaurant Palate
starts slightly gritty, with some chlorophyll and green tea, but it takes off quite magnificently, with some eucalyptus, bitter marzipan, mint, and wee bits of cinnamon cake. Forgot to mention freshly squeezed blood oranges. And eucalyptus honey, the Corsican bees make some great eucalyptus honey when they are not on strike (S.! They’ll never let you in again!)
timer Finish
not the longest ever, but all this mentholy waxy/honeyed combo works very well. Only the aftertaste is a little disconcerting, perhaps too drying
