Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 짙은 황금빛이 잔 밑바닥까지 가라앉는다. 스페이사이드의 대명사 글렌리벳은 1973년에 증류되어 마흔두 해라는 긴 시간을 버번 호그스헤드에서 견뎌 냈다. 잘 익은 멜론과 꿀, 오래된 나무의 향이 40.2도의 부드러운 도수를 타고 천천히 열린다. 한 모금에는 트로피컬 과일과 토피, 옅은 향신료가 둥글게 녹아든다. 여운은 무르익은 과일과 마른 오크를 남기며 길고 우아하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes

air Nose
the oak’s doing all the talking after all these years, but the good news is that it’s some delicate, subtle, and rather restrained American oak. That translates into some coconut oils, soft vanilla crème, acacia honey, and plenty of meadow flowers, first buttercups, then dandelions and company. The bees would love this! The whole remains a little fragile, perhaps, I’m really curious about the palate…
restaurant Palate
it is an old lady, soft, with a lovely oak that may work just like crutches here. Indeed the spirit’s only whispering, while some soft chocolate and praline are talking a little louder. What I really enjoy is this wee smoky side, but that would rather be wood smoke. Cakes, forgotten tobacco pouch, very old Sauternes that’s lost a part of its oomph… In fact, it’s like some very old white Bourgogne that refuses to die. Moving
timer Finish
surprisingly active and lively, just like these old actors that are still very good on stage - but never listen to their interviews! Becomes a little tropical, with tinned pineapples and even bananas flambéed. And blood oranges
