Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 37년이라는 장기 숙성에서 온 망고와 파파야, 잘 익은 오크 향이 먼저 두드러진다. 1970년 증류된 글렌 그란트는 50.3도에서도 오랜 세월이 빚은 트로피컬 과실과 섬세한 우드가 균형 있게 짜인다. 팰럿은 패션프루트와 꿀, 폴리시드 오크로 발전하며 반세기에 가까운 숙성이 둥근 질감을 만든다. 피니시는 마른 과일과 오크 향신료가 길게 이어진다. 장기 숙성 스페이사이드의 구조감이 인상적인 희귀한 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
it’s not a blast of sherried notes that happens at first nosing, rather something like cold coffee, cold beef stock and chocolate. It gets even meatier after that (ham, game) but never bold. All elegance and dryness. Keeps developing on parsley and lovage, hints of oyster sauce, old Bourgogne and quite some spearmint and even lemon balm. Very complex
restaurant Palate
superb, even at 40%, such is this one’s depth of flavours. Starts on raspberry jam mixed with mint leaves and chocolate (ganache, truffles), then prunes and raisins, then it’s back to strawberries, then bitter oranges, old armagnac... There’s also a little dryness from the wood but just enough to keep this one straight. Also notes of blackcurrant jelly and then spices (a little pepper and quite some cloves)
timer Finish
as long as a 40% malt can get, perfectly balanced, with added notes of liquorice. Beautiful sherry cask
