Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1970년 증류해 39년을 보낸 글렌그란트의 잘 익은 사과와 꿀 향이 먼저 두드러진다. 긴 숙성에도 신선함을 잃지 않은 스페이사이드답게 팰럿은 오크의 깊이와 과일 단맛이 또렷하게 발전한다. 살구와 바닐라, 은은한 향신료가 51.6도의 도수에 실려 균형을 이룬다. 39년의 세월이 빚은 구조감이 단단하고, 피니시는 꿀과 마른 향신료로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold. Probably bourbon cask
air Nose
starts bold, a tad varnishy and estery at very first sniffs, but the expected fruitiness is soon to unfold, with melons and peaches first, and mirabelle plums and gooseberries second. Also a little pineapple and even pears, signs of youth. Youthful indeed at almost 40 years of age! Then more vanilla and a little mint. With water: a little more oak, banana skin and apple peelings but everything is under control
restaurant Palate
well, there sure is much more oak and tannins than on the nose. Quite some green tea, bitter oranges and then many spices such as cloves, white pepper and paprika (something dry). Nutmeg. A tad too oaky for my taste just now. With water: works well, the tannins got tamed and replaced with notes of marzipan, orange cake and vanilla cake
timer Finish
medium long, with good balance between the oak and the spirit. Quite some cinnamon in the aftertaste
