Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full amber
air Nose
it is, of course, quite different. Less sherried, less ‘antique’, but it certainly does stand comparison. It starts all on different kinds of cherries (as well as cherry plums) and quite some almond milk and marzipan and then swings to a very pleasant oakiness (nutmeg, cinnamon) before it gets very nicely winey (Pomerol anyone?) Maybe not the Duthie’s magnificence but it really plays its game well
restaurant Palate
that’s funny, it starts on these big bold notes of black cherries again – all kinds of northern stone fruits in fact. Very good balance, it’s punchy but not overpowering at all, getting even fruitier with time (blackcurrants). Other than that we have a little coffee, butter toffee, Corinth raisins… And red sweet wine (more Port than sherry as far as I can taste)
timer Finish
very long, getting a little drying and oaky but way below the limits, with a slightly peppery and ‘nutmeggy’ signature. Another very good old Glenlivet with lots of oomph. 90 points. ... AND ANOTHER TWO Glenlivet 16 yo 1978/1994 (43%, Milroy’s)
