Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 34년을 보낸 글렌리벳답게 깊은 밀랍과 잘 익은 과수원 과일 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 리필 셰리 호그스헤드의 절제된 영향 덕에 오크보다 스피릿의 우아함이 앞선다. 입에서는 51.1도의 도수가 무색하게 복숭아와 꿀, 옅은 향신료가 매끄럽게 미끄러지며 노숙성 특유의 둥근 구조감을 보여준다. 피니시는 맥아의 단맛과 은은한 향목이 길게 남으며, 1981 빈티지다운 시간의 깊이가 끝까지 흐트러지지 않는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
all elegance, even evanescence. Shy and subtle after the 18 for Barretto, but the profile is similar, with all things from a deep forest, you just have to nose deeper. Autumn leaves, moss, mushrooms and all that. Quite bizarrely, there’s also quite a lot of Glenlivet’s current marker (in my opinion), overripe apples and pears. Also a touch of butter, perhaps old books, certainly a few hazelnuts. The whole’s rather light, but it’s its elegance that counts. Less smoke than I had thought
restaurant Palate
there, smoke, and mineral oils, and smoked ham, and some brine, and these funny fruit rolls that some are covering with salt in some countries. Yeah, probably in Scandinavia. It’s got the body of an old white wine, so I guess we could call it ‘thin’, but on the other hand, I do not find anything cardboardy or flattish. What’s more, the salt tends to come to the front
timer Finish
rather short, but if you like a saltiness in your whisky, you’d love this. Again, no cardboard and no tea. Cantaloupe and a little mead in the aftertaste
