Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 글렌리벳 보호구역의 깊은 골짜기 풍토가 글렌리벳 1975 빈티지 30년 숙성을 셰리 캐스크에서 길러냈다. 잔에는 짙은 호박빛이 비친다. 향에는 셰리에서 비롯한 말린 자두와 가죽, 호두가 또렷이 드러나고 입에서는 54도의 도수가 무화과와 흑설탕, 정향을 두꺼운 질감으로 흘려보낸다. 여운에는 글렌리벳 골짜기 특유의 깊고 마른 단맛이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
starts on an interesting smokiness and hints of natural lavender plus lots of vanilla. Quite powerful but balanced. Then it switches to rather heavy notes of liquorice and aniseed as well as small cider apples and walnuts. Keeps developing on toasted oak, nougat, a little toffee and hints of nutmeg… Also thyme and rosemary, chives, fresh coriander smoked tea… The smokiness keeps underlining the whole. A very, very nice nose, playful and very entertaining. I like it!
restaurant Palate
the attack is bold, oily and powerful but not pungent, extremely sweet and fruity with lots of ripe pineapples, bananas flambéed and a little kiwi that makes it quite playful (slight acidity). Goes on with lots of vanilla crème and all sorts of fruits liqueurs (apricot like they make in Holland, Parfait Amour, triple-sec…) with a nice oaky backbone and quite some spices coming through after a moment (green curry). Also crystallized ginger
timer Finish
very long, with a nice and unexpected bitterness that counterbalances the sweetness (strawberry sweets). Lots of pepper as well. This ‘new style’ woodsky has been perfectly ‘crafted’, that’s for sure. A success, much better than the first version I think. 89 points (just a little more complexity would have propelled it towards 90+ points). Glenlivet 1975/2006 (54%, Berry Bros & Rudd, cask #10846)
