Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에 윤기 도는 황금빛이 고요히 잠긴다. 글렌리벳 21년 아카이브는 오랜 숙성이 빚어낸 잘 익은 복숭아와 꿀, 들꽃의 향을 부드럽게 풀어낸다. 43도의 낮은 도수가 입에서는 무화과와 바닐라, 은은한 시나몬으로 매끄럽게 흐른다. 스페이사이드의 우아함을 대표하는 증류소답게 모난 곳 없이 둥글게 짜인 균형이 인상적이다. 여운은 부드러운 오크와 꿀의 단맛을 길게 남기며 천천히 잦아든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
I have the impression that it became more floral, kind of fresher, with more dandelions, also orange juice, also stewed mirabelles… But indeed this is not the old 'Archive'. I'm finding this extremely nice, but perhaps less old-school that it was earlier. Probably less core-quality sherry in there, and consequently, more vanilla. What's sure is that it's still an upper-class Speysider on the nose
restaurant Palate
much maltier, much more on cakes straight from the oven, brownies, palo cortado… We're also finding a little mint, some camphory elements, angelica, aniseed, liquorice… While the lower strength doesn't seem be a problem here, on the contrary. There's even a little rancio in the background, and prunes
timer Finish
medium, perhaps even a little short, but some raisins and some coffee are flying to the rescue. A little black tea and just oak in the aftertaste
