Flavor Profile
Tasting 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)
