Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 짙은 황금빛이 잔 속에 깊게 어린다. 1970년에 증류해 36년을 묵힌 글렌 그란트는 향에서 말린 살구와 꿀, 잘 익은 멜론의 단맛이 우아하게 올라온다. 한 모금은 비단 같은 질감으로 흐르며 배와 바닐라, 가벼운 향신료가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 53도의 도수가 긴 숙성의 섬세함을 단단히 받쳐 준다. 여운은 잘 익은 과실과 마른 오크가 길고 잔잔하게 사그라든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber – mahogany
air Nose
wow, this is big bold sherry indeed! Very rich, very powerful, exuberant and invading, starting right on coffee with a few drops of schnapps, thick rich orange liqueur and old sherry (matusalem oloroso). Then we have a beautiful dryness, cocoa, fir wood smoke and finally more meaty aromas (the usual game, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and oxtail). A perfect dry sherry monster, almost Olympic. And no sulphur, no varnish and no nail polish
restaurant Palate
ah, here’s the ‘woody cavalry’. Starts on quite some bitterish wood, cooked wine, strawberry jam (but it isn’t very sweet), developing on over-infused tea and fruit spirit (tutti frutti)… The bitterness gets more bearable after a moment, though, but the whole remains quite drying and ‘kirschy’
timer Finish
very long but still quite drying, like a mixture of very strong tea and heavily reduced wine sauce. Phew! But the nose was really superb, hence my 85 points . Glen Grant 1970/2007 (53%, Highlander Inn Hotel, cask #861, 153 bottles)
