Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아메리칸 호그스헤드에서 50년이라는 반세기를 보낸 시간이 향과 입에서 또렷이 드러난다. Glenlivet 증류소가 1964년 빈티지를 The Winchester Collection으로 42.3도에 자체 병입한 보틀이다. 코에는 잘 익은 살구와 묵은 가구의 향, 흰 꽃이 깊게 머문다. 입안에서는 트로피컬 푸르츠와 꿀에 절인 배, 오래된 바닐라가 부드럽게 비친다. 짙은 황금빛 잔의 끝에는 미세한 오크 탄닌과 트로피컬 단맛의 그림자가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
the first thing that’s striking here is the fact that it’s very ‘Glenlivet’. Sounds logical but after 50 years, that’s not always the case. We’re rather around a tarte tatin that would have been made with pears and papayas instead of apples, I’d say. I also find touches of acacia honey, just a little beeswax, a light spiciness (sweet korma, perhaps, ginger cake), maybe roasted cashews and then more orange blossom or earl grey tea. It’s all subtle and, I have to say, surprisingly fresh. But with all very old whiskies, the devil’s in the… palate. Let’s see…
restaurant Palate
surprisingly fresh and vibrant, and certainly more ‘tropical’ than other Glenlivets. Lovely touches of oranges, ‘supreme’ pina colada, these baked pears again (not the kind of pear notes that you’ll find in young whiskies), touches of papayas and guavas, a light honeyness yet again, tangerines… What’s really surprising is the fact that there’s no ‘political wood’, I mean, you know, when the taster finds quite a lot of wood and writes that he had feared he would have found even more. Not so here, it’s absolutely not an oaky whisky. A wee miracle
timer Finish
and even in the finish the oak is kept at bay, as it’s rather the citrusy side that keeps singing. I even find mangos in the aftertaste. And, granted, more cinnamon
