Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 글렌 그란트 12년이 퍼스트필 셰리 호그스헤드의 영향으로 건포도와 오렌지, 토피의 향을 또렷하게 드러낸다. 깔끔한 스페이사이드 증류액 위로 셰리의 단맛이 선명하게 입혀졌다. 입에서는 말린 과일과 구운 견과, 가벼운 계피가 57.2도의 도수를 타고 발전한다. 첫 채움 캐스크다운 짙은 색과 구조감이 돋보이며, 피니시는 다크초콜릿과 오크 탄닌의 쌉쌀함이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
quite a different style. Much grassier, greener, more floral and full of pollens, plain cereals, lightly buttered toast, vase water, hessian and clay. We’re creeping towards this lighter but still rather old school Glen Grant profile which to me feels like the late 60s distillates captured at a younger age. This one remains beautifully fresh, green and vibrant with many subtle complexities emerging including olive oil, beeswax, carbon paper, bouillon and chopped parsley. With water: wonderfully mossy now with lots of twigs, bracken and petrichor. Ink, carbon paper, dried herbs, honeycomb and shoe polish
restaurant Palate
rather fierce on arrival with lots of struck flints, petrol, lime oil, hessian, white pepper, ink and crushed aspirin. Also things like cut grass, cactus and raw vegetables. Very good but a more austere expression. With water: easier and more towards old school boiled lime and lemon sweets. Cornflakes dusted with icing sugar, rapeseed oil and sweetened darjeeling tea
timer Finish
long, getting slightly earthy, still vegetal and herbal, also more peppery and punchy again
