Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 1968년산 글렌리벳 특유의 오래된 셰리 캐스크 향이 가장 먼저 인사한다. 잔을 흔들면 짙은 황갈색이 천천히 도는 가운데 건과일과 향신료의 노트가 깊게 머문다. 한 모금을 머금으면 53.2도의 알코올이 입을 데우며 농축된 토피와 시트러스 마멀레이드가 묵직하게 흐른다. 천천히 삼키면 34년이 새긴 가죽과 무화과의 잔향이 입천장에 길게 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
all elegance, even evanescence. Shy and subtle after the 18 for Barretto, but the profile is similar, with all things from a deep forest, you just have to nose deeper. Autumn leaves, moss, mushrooms and all that. Quite bizarrely, there’s also quite a lot of Glenlivet’s current marker (in my opinion), overripe apples and pears. Also a touch of butter, perhaps old books, certainly a few hazelnuts. The whole’s rather light, but it’s its elegance that counts. Less smoke than I had thought
restaurant Palate
there, smoke, and mineral oils, and smoked ham, and some brine, and these funny fruit rolls that some are covering with salt in some countries. Yeah, probably in Scandinavia. It’s got the body of an old white wine, so I guess we could call it ‘thin’, but on the other hand, I do not find anything cardboardy or flattish. What’s more, the salt tends to come to the front
timer Finish
rather short, but if you like a saltiness in your whisky, you’d love this. Again, no cardboard and no tea. Cantaloupe and a little mead in the aftertaste
