Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 1974 빈티지 글렌리벳의 24년 숙성이 빚은 정제된 과일 향이 노즈에서 명확하게 드러난다. 잘 익은 배와 꿀, 약간의 밀랍이 또렷하게 두드러지며 스페이사이드 클래식의 정교한 균형이 단단하게 받쳐 준다. 팰럿은 46도에서 부드럽고 매끄러우며 보리 단맛과 살구, 가벼운 오크 향신료가 차례로 발전한다. 피니시는 오래 숙성된 몰트 특유의 잔잔한 단맛과 향신료가 길게 이어지며 단정하게 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
again, spirity but more caramelly than coffeeish. Quite some varnish as well… Water please: yes, it got quite bourbonny but also quite resinous, not unlike Compass Box’s Spice Tree. Nice liquorice and ginger. Maybe to single malt what Australia’s Jacob Creek is to chardonnay (please don’t start yelling at me, Jacob’s Creek is French owned – Yeah, I know, Glen Moray too)
restaurant Palate
even sweeter than the ‘Craig’ but also much more resinous and ‘varnishy’, with apparently lots of wood extracts. Quite enjoyable, I must say, simple but almost drinkable without water. With water now: even sweeter, even more vanilled, even spicier… Long, very rounded and very sweet finish with a littler ginger and a very long aftertaste on vanilla and caramel. A rather good, simple, crafted woodsky from ‘the new world of Scotch whisky’, whatever that means. 80 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: as promised, here's Bela Fleck (NOT Ben Affleck) and his Flecktones playing the famous Hoedown.mp3 live and probably better than Emerson, Lake and Palmer... Please buy these guys' great music! November 10, 2006 TASTING - TWO GLENLIVETS FROM THE MID-70's Glenlivet 1974/2006 (46%, Berry Bros & Rudd, cask #5203) Several great Glenlivets by BBR these days
