Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스트필 배럴에서 16년을 보낸 숙성이 글렌리벳 특유의 매끄러운 과일향을 또렷하게 끌어올린다. 첫 충전 통이 내준 바닐라와 잘 익은 배, 시트러스의 향이 밝게 번진다. 입에서는 꿀과 청사과, 가벼운 오크 스파이스가 깔끔하게 이어진다. 50.7도는 부담 없이 둥글게 입안을 채운다. 맑은 황금빛 잔 끝에는 과수원 과일과 바닐라의 여운이 산뜻하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
ahwowowow! The most subtle and superb combination of dried fruits, everything in a beehive, almond oil and similar smells plus anything preciously woody. To be more precise, we have figs and dates, honeydew and beeswax, almond oil and fresh ‘high-end’ putty and notes of old cupboard, cigar box and old books (or well kept antique shop). It’s all very complex and fantastically mingled, like if it was a very old Sauternes from a great vintage. Totally infectious, I can’t see who wouldn’t adore this nose, even people who usually hate scotch
restaurant Palate
maybe just a tad dry at first sip but then it keeps unfolding in fantastic sequences. Honey and roasted nuts, cake, Corinth raisins, dog rose hips, chewing tobacco, liquorice, bitter chocolate, a little cardamom… Ah well, this is endless and, above all, absolutely not tired despite the low strength
timer Finish
not too long and maybe a tad drier and tea-ish but additional notes of oriental pastries in the aftertaste really make it even more fantastic
