Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
very fresh and very fruity at first sniffs, starting mainly on bananas and custard. It’s then more floral (huge notes of dandelions), discretely honeyed and spicy (hints of cinnamon). Balance is there. A Glenlivet that smells more like an old Balvenie, actually. Quite elegant
restaurant Palate
quite powerful but maybe not as delicate as on the nose. Rougher, quite peppery and much more marked by the wood, getting somewhat bitterish and bizarrely mustardy. Quite liquoricy as well. A little disappointing I must say
timer Finish
quite long, liquoricy and a little salty but with still that drying oak… Too bad. It’s very good whisky and the nose was very pleasant but the palate is barely above average in my books. 81 points. Glenlivet 29 yo 1971/2001 (50%, Douglas Laing Old Malt Cask, 558 bottles)
