Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1973년 빈티지 글렌리벳의 우아한 셰리 버트 향이 가장 먼저 두드러지고, 건포도와 오렌지 마멀레이드, 묵은 가죽이 천천히 발전한다. 21년 숙성과 56도의 도수가 만나 향의 밀도가 높지만 결은 매끄럽다. 팰럿은 흑설탕과 말린 무화과, 호두의 풍미가 명확하게 드러나며 구조가 단단하게 잡힌다. 피니시는 향신료와 다크 토피가 길게 이어진다. 올드 스타일 스페이사이드 셰리의 깊이가 또렷한 빈티지 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
starts really powerful, on what seems to be a mix of ‘smoky’ sherry and resin, and gets then frankly resinous. Fir liqueur and honeydew, something like mead, fir liqueur and even absinth… Goes back to sherry (quite winey) after that, with also quite some rubber (bands), strawberry jam, kirsch… And then pine needles again. Very ‘funny’ so to speak, even if the rubber is a little ‘too much’. With water: a little less rubber but even more resinous notes. Retsina? Soy sauce. Also more peat… Way nicer anyway, much less winey. Quite superb in fact
restaurant Palate
big and very punchy, starting on fruit spirit (strawberry eau-de-vie and kirsch) and getting then hot, winey and rubbery, just like on the nose. Also notes of rose-flavoured Turkish delights, lychees… A fruit spirit indeed. With water: rounder, less rubbery and fruitier (cooked apricots, strawberries, raspberry liqueur, big notes of blackcurrants.)
timer Finish
long, still a bit wild (the rubber never completely vanished) but very satisfying. Interesting peaty aftertaste
