Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 셰리 버트에서 28년을 거친 1971년 빈티지 글렌리벳의 짙은 호박빛이 잔 안쪽을 미끄러진다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 묵은 꿀과 말린 무화과, 옅은 가죽의 향이 차례로 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 51.8%의 도수가 입안에서 풍부한 셰리의 단맛과 따뜻한 견과, 부드러운 향신료의 결로 풀려나간다. 삼킨 뒤에도 1971 빈티지 글렌리벳의 깊은 잔향이 입천장에 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep orangey amber
air Nose
all manner of dark fruits soaked in very old Fins Bois cognac. Plus old cigar humidors. Plus prune eau de vie and dark chocolate gâteaux. In some ways rather simple, but also totally perfect in this very direct and vibrant expression of superb old style sherry. With water: drier, more mentholated, a few medicinal herbs, strong black tea and walnut wine
restaurant Palate
perfectly bitter dark chocolate flecked with sea salt and chilli. Cloves, aniseed, hardwood spices and resins, then sultanas and raisins. The whole is extremely classical with yet more of these mulchy earthy vibes and plentiful rancio. With water: wonderful flavours of aged plum wine, soy sauce and salted almonds coming through now - the sherry profile feels like it is becoming more complex rather than, say, more tannic, which often happens
timer Finish
medium, lightly sappy, warming soft spices, figs, sultanas and more boozy prunes in the aftertaste along with some nicely fruity black coffee
