Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
로시스의 글렌그란트는 키 큰 증류기와 정화기로 가볍고 맑은 스페이사이드 스타일을 대표한다. 오크 캐스크에서 35년을 보낸 잔에는 깊은 호박빛이 어린다. 1972년 빈티지의 향은 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 견과가 산뜻하게 피어오른다. 56.3도의 입안은 시트러스와 바닐라, 마른 과일의 단맛이 매끄럽게 번진다. 여운에는 오크 향신료와 꿀의 잔향이 우아하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour

air Nose
holy moly! Immensely concentrated dark fruits! Damsons, figs, dates, prunes and sultanas all soaked in very old Armagnac. Also aged mead, cough medicine, salted dark chocolate and heather flower honey. A stunning tension between these richly honeyed beehive vibes and a perfectly salty, earthy and rich sherry character. With water: rather unbelievably it becomes even more honeyed and full of nectars, exotic fruit pulps, hardwood resins and tropical fruit teas. The sherry is still there but the way it evolves rapidly towards the underlying Glen Grant distillate is amazing
restaurant Palate
magnificent! Again this amazing balance and interplay between earthy, gamey, leathery and salty sherry with this rather ancient bodega style funk, and then honeys galore, loads of beeswax, pollens, old crystalised dark honeys and hessian. Amazing, singular and stunningly complex profile. With water: just magnificent! Camphor, old leather, rolling tobacco, linseed oil, herbal cough syrups, old Drambuie, spiced marmalade and yellow Chartreuse
timer Finish
very long, circling back onto the saltier and drier sherry aspects now, a stunning tension still on display between all these various influences
