Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에 깊게 잠겨 있다. 1970년에 증류되어 39년을 보낸 글렌그란트답게 향에서는 잘 익은 살구와 꿀, 오래된 나무의 향이 천천히 피어오른다. 입에 머금으면 반세기에 가까운 숙성이 빚어낸 농축된 과실과 토피, 은은한 향신료가 부드럽게 입을 채운다. 51.9도의 도수가 무색하게 질감은 매끄럽고, 던컨 테일러가 고른 이 희귀한 보틀링의 깊이가 또렷이 드러난다. 여운에는 마른 풀과 가죽, 옅은 꿀이 길게 이어지며 천천히 사라진다.
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
