Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
a little shier and more on fresh apples and pears, with unusual hints of olive oil, and then even black olives. Develops quite slowly, getting a little grassy and starting to smell almost like tequila or maybe white rum, getting then almost as mashy and slightly soapy as the old 15yo. But it’s got more freshness and is hence more pleasant. A good example of the much advertised ‘Atlantic freshness’ I guess
restaurant Palate
more, much more body now, with a distinctive ‘coastality’ (I think I never got it that loud in a Bruichladich), hints of seashells, iodine… And we have these hints of olive oil as well, a little liquorice, chervil, sage… A very entertaining, with also a little quince and, maybe, melons
timer Finish
rather long, quite aromatic (hints of violets and lavender swets), with also a little wax. Another very pale and fresh one that should stand ice in summer. I like this: 84 points . April 27, 2007 TASTING – FOUR BRAES OF GLENLIVET (no idea about the plural, sorry – OK, BRAEVALS) Braeval 11 yo 1995/2006 (46%, Dun Bheagan, cask #95653, 750 bottles)
