Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
세월이 스민 짙은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 은은하게 빛난다. 스페이사이드의 대표 증류소 글렌리벳이 오크 캐스크에서 28년을 보낸 이 원액은 긴 숙성이 빚은 깊이를 지녔다. 코끝에는 잘 익은 사과와 꿀, 오래된 오크의 향이 어우러진다. 입에 닿으면 46도의 부드러운 도수가 보리엿과 시트러스, 옅은 향신료를 천천히 풀어놓는다. 우아한 결이 입안을 감싸고, 끝에는 꿀과 마른 풀의 여운이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
again, spirity but more caramelly than coffeeish. Quite some varnish as well… Water please: yes, it got quite bourbonny but also quite resinous, not unlike Compass Box’s Spice Tree. Nice liquorice and ginger. Maybe to single malt what Australia’s Jacob Creek is to chardonnay (please don’t start yelling at me, Jacob’s Creek is French owned – Yeah, I know, Glen Moray too)
restaurant Palate
even sweeter than the ‘Craig’ but also much more resinous and ‘varnishy’, with apparently lots of wood extracts. Quite enjoyable, I must say, simple but almost drinkable without water. With water now: even sweeter, even more vanilled, even spicier… Long, very rounded and very sweet finish with a littler ginger and a very long aftertaste on vanilla and caramel. A rather good, simple, crafted woodsky from ‘the new world of Scotch whisky’, whatever that means. 80 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: as promised, here's Bela Fleck (NOT Ben Affleck) and his Flecktones playing the famous Hoedown.mp3 live and probably better than Emerson, Lake and Palmer... Please buy these guys' great music! November 10, 2006 TASTING - TWO GLENLIVETS FROM THE MID-70's Glenlivet 1974/2006 (46%, Berry Bros & Rudd, cask #5203) Several great Glenlivets by BBR these days
