Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 글렌 그란트 특유의 깔끔한 과일향과 셰리 버트의 마른 과일이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 1972년 증류해 27년을 채운 이 더글라스 레잉 올드 몰트 캐스크는 스페이사이드의 산뜻한 스피릿이 오랜 셰리 숙성과 균형을 이룬다. 50도의 도수는 팰럿에서 건포도와 오렌지 껍질, 옅은 견과류를 또렷하게 밀어올리며 구조감이 단단하다. 피니시는 마른 과일과 오크 향신료가 깊게 머물러, 빈티지 글렌 그란트의 우아한 결을 명확하게 드러낸다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
extremely typical of these old G&M malts from this 30s/40s/early 50s era, or perhaps, just as typical of the sherry casks G&M were filling in those days. Which is to say, riddled with coconut, exotic fruits, delicate threads of peat smoke and fusion of gentle sweetness and rancio that is completely alluring. Various subtle aromas of shoe and metal polishes, a hint of bouillon, some medicinal herbs and things like camphor and wormwood. Gorgeous and exactly as hoped/anticipated
restaurant Palate
similarly very immediate and very typical. Same feeling of super old school American oak ex-transport sherry cask with these sweeter coconut notes, many dried exotic fruits, tropical fruit teas, herbal cough syrup, distant rumours of dry peat smoke and hints of things like white truffle, aged mead and classical camphor and hessian notes
timer Finish
a tad short, but still wonderfully exotic, coconutty, medicinal, honeyed and with plenty soft waxy notes
