Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 리벳 강변의 청량한 공기 속에서 자라난 글렌리벳 1971은 29년의 시간을 평온히 견딘다. 잔에는 짙은 호박빛이 또렷이 깃들어 있고 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 그리고 살구잼의 향이 부드럽게 일어난다. 50도의 단단한 무게로 입안에서는 바닐라 커스터드와 옅은 셰리의 단맛이 둥글게 펼쳐지고 오크 향신료가 따라온다. 여운에는 시트러스와 꿀이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting 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)
