Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 말린 살구와 꿀, 오래된 오크의 향이 두드러진다. 글렌리벳을 셰리 버트와 리필 아메리칸 오크에서 36년 숙성한 셀러 컬렉션은 오랜 시간이 빚은 원숙한 결을 또렷이 보여준다. 49도의 입안에서는 건포도와 캐러멜, 마른 향신료가 매끄럽게 번진다. 피니시는 길고 따뜻하며 오크의 탄닌이 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 고전 스페이사이드의 깊이가 균형 있게 드러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
exactly the opposite of the 1981 as far as styles of sherry are concerned. This one is fully on sultanas and honeycomb, much smoother and rounder, well in the style of these Caperdonichs and Glen Grants that we all know very well. Pollen, nectar, quince jelly, dried figs (a huge pack!)… It improved a lot with quite some breathing, it was less entrancing when I first tried it a few months ago. No water needed
restaurant Palate
oh yes, this is pretty perfect. Lovely combination of mint and liquorice with many dried fruits and a Christmassy side. Don’t ask… Still, raisins, dried pears, cloves, star anise, orange marmalade… Balance is perfect and so is the body. Perfect strength
timer Finish
long, with a few more vegetal notes (maybe along parsley?) Old sweet wine in the aftertaste (rich Sauternes)
