Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코앞에 대면 36년이라는 시간이 빚어낸 글렌리벳 1968의 농익은 향이 천천히 번진다. 잘 익은 망고와 살구, 밀랍과 오래된 오크가 겹겹이 쌓여 올라온다. 한 모금 입에 굴리면 48.6도의 술이 비단처럼 매끄럽게 혀를 감싸고 꿀과 열대 과일, 은은한 흙내음이 차례로 드러난다. 천천히 넘기면 오랜 숙성이 남긴 부드러운 탄닌과 달큰함이 입안을 감싸며 서서히 옅어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
surprisingly spirity at very first nosing, but it’s quick to get much mellower, extremely fruity and flowery. Lots of vanilla but no excessive oak, although one could describe it as being sort of bourbonny. Lots of nectar, honey, plum cake, herbal tea. Big notes of fudge, praline, white chocolate, hot cake, together with some hints of orange and apple juice. Not too complex, I must say, but extremely enjoyable
restaurant Palate
very drying and tannic attack, oaky, with lots of cinnamon and fruit jam (orange marmalade, plums). Goes on with some cocoa powder, cardboard, getting even sort of ‘chalky’. This one went over the hill, no doubt. Moreover, the finish is rather short and weak, but not short of dryness. Too bad, the nose was great. No comment on the quality/price ratio. 82 points . Glenlivet 36 yo 1968/2005 (48.6%, Duncan Taylor, sherry cask #6195, 136 bottles)
