Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 고지대 글렌리벳 계곡의 청정한 샘물이 이 전설적인 위스키의 뿌리를 이룬다. 1948년 빈티지 50년 숙성에 잔에는 짙은 호박빛이 가득하다. 반세기를 견딘 만큼 잘 익은 사과와 마른 꽃, 오래된 참나무 향이 고요하게 솟는다. 입에서는 부드러운 꿀과 토피, 옅은 향신료가 40도의 낮은 도수에서 섬세하게 흐른다. 여운은 길지 않아도 깊고 단정하며 고요한 나무 향이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
h.u.r.r.a.y. Astounding combination of old herbal liqueurs and overripe fruits (I get bananas, how strange, then apricots, plums and mandarins), marzipan, vetiver, sandalwood, orange blossom water, olive oil… Truly symphonic despite the low strength – it’s no big nose, obviously. Could be some very old Sauternes, in a way… It’s all wonderfully delicate. Let’s only hope the palate will stay the course!... Also a little incense and even coconut
restaurant Palate
we aren’t too far from the 1967 (only thirty years, after all). It’s certainly a little smoky, a little liqueury as well (Cointreau), it’s got a tarry and resinous side as well, then we have more classic notes of sultanas, figs, honey cake, kumquats and maybe ore or two litchis in syrup. What’s also amazing is the fact that there’s absolutely no drying oak, despite the fact that this wonderful baby must be around 45 years of age or more. I’d add that some parts are similar to G&M’s recent and much acclaimed Glenlivet 70yo. The honeyness never stops growing, together with a little tobacco that comes playing with you
timer Finish
medium long, candied and fruity. Oranges dipped into chocolate and a good slice of honey cake. A little cough syrup in the aftertaste, always very nice – not only in winter – as well as a slightly smoky side, like all pre-war malts
