Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1940년 증류된 글렌리벳 70년의 묵은 셰리 향과 가죽, 시가 박스, 묵은 종이가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 잔에 시간을 더하면 마른 무화과와 다크 초콜릿이 발전한다. 팰럿은 45.9도 차분한 보디 위에 묵은 호두, 무화과 잼, 흑설탕이 명확하게 드러나며 퍼스트 필 셰리 버트의 구조감이 단단하다. 피니시는 가죽과 약초 톤이 길게 이어진다. GM Generations 70년의 시대적 깊이가 또렷한 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
as I wrote, a long pause was needed after the rum because it may have simply overwhelmed this old glory. The malt is immediately more complex, smoother and fresher despite the older age, although it’s got something of an old rum (aaargh!), especially ripe bananas and oranges. Other than that, it’s beautifully earthy, with some humus, wild mushrooms, roots, then touches of eucalyptus and a little smoke, ripe melon, sultanas and fig jam (not a very sugary one, rather the kind we eat with foie gras, actually closer to some kind of chutney). Also After Eights (when you open a new pack), mint and chocolate plus just tiny hints of paper/cardboard. Oh, and also touches of iron, old tools, wine cellar… As I said, its all very complex and a true ‘movie-malt’ that never stops changing while remaining ‘focussed’, if you se what I mean
restaurant Palate
the wood is more obvious but it’s of high quality, with notes of high-end cinnamon mingled with blood oranges and mango jam. Then crystallised fruits, honeycomb, cassata, a little liquorice, tobacco, touches of cloves, drops of Campari, maybe a little mint… And even a little smoke again
timer Finish
probably not extremely long but once again, the oak does not dominate the distillate, which is a miracle, esp. since it was a first fill cask
