Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리벳 계곡을 품은 스페이사이드의 글렌리벳을 고든앤맥페일이 1975년에 병입한 15년산이다. 오랜 세월을 지나온 보틀답게 그윽한 호박빛이 잔에 잠겨 있다. 향에서는 잘 익은 사과와 마른 풀, 묵은 오크의 은은한 향이 또렷이 깃든다. 입에서는 45.7도의 부드러운 질감 위로 꿀과 보리, 옅은 향신료가 흐른다. 여운은 클래식한 스페이사이드의 단정한 곡물 단맛으로 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
one further step towards depth and phenolness. It also seems that there was more sherry in this one, since I’m finding quite a lot of cigars and walnuts, then bitter oranges. A few used matches – all great – and some coal, that old toolbox again, and certainly fewer fruits than in the old 12. Impeccably dry
restaurant Palate
amazingly big, assertive, restless, and even a little coastal. Current Glenlivets got much smoother and easier. This one’s also clearly peated, sooty, there’s a little mustard, more cigars, more walnuts, and some waxy/salty lemons. A wee touch of cardboard, perhaps, which most certainly comes from all those years spent in the bottle, while the 12 had remained brighter. Now the whole remains extraordinary
timer Finish
long, salty, with grapefruits and some salt, plus a sooty aftertaste
