Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1952년에 증류된 글렌리벳이 무려 65년을 보낸 끝에 깊은 마호가니 빛을 잔에 또렷이 깃들게 한다. 코끝에는 고든 앤 맥페일의 오랜 셀러가 남긴 농축된 무화과와 묵은 가죽, 옅은 흙내음이 먼저 올라온다. 한 모금에는 셰리의 침착한 단맛과 호두 껍질, 오래된 우드 노트가 미끄러지듯 흐른다. 45.1도라는 절제된 도수가 반세기를 넘긴 글렌리벳의 우아한 결을 길고 또렷이 비치게 한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
expressive and much fresher and cleaner than expected, starting with lots of flowers (dandelions, buttercups), pollen and fresh white fruits (peaches). Goes on with a little vanilla and quite some fresh butter, never getting woody. Hints of fresh mint. Not enormously complex but very pleasant and surprisingly young despite all what the angels have stolen
restaurant Palate
starts rather light but not weak, with quite some wood now but it’s far from being unbearable. Enjoyable spiciness (nutmeg and white pepper as well as quite some cinnamon). Other than that we have vanilla, pecan pie, apple compote… Again, it’s not really complex but pleasant and flawless. The finish isn’t too long, though, but balanced, vanilled and still not drying. A good oldie that didn’t go off the rail despite all these years. 85 points . Glenlivet 1971 (45%, Samaroli, single cask, circa 2002)
