Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1972년 증류해 37년을 보낸 글렌리벳에 엑스 버번 호그스헤드의 향이 더해져 잘 익은 열대 과일과 꿀이 먼저 두드러진다. 오랜 숙성에서 온 밀랍과 마른 풀의 향이 뒤따른다. 입에서는 56.8도의 도수가 파인애플과 살구의 농축된 단맛, 맥아의 고소함을 또렷하게 펼친다. 스페이사이드 몰트의 정갈한 과실미가 중심을 잡는다. 피니시는 꿀과 오크, 옅은 향신료의 여운이 길게 남으며 구조감이 또렷하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
starts slightly rough and kirschy, with hints of porridge and wee touches of rubber mixed with some liquorice wood and various fruit jams. Gets rather maltier after that, as well as a little farmy. Certainly not one of these gentle old Glenlivets so far. With water: gets much softer and rounder, with more vanilla and dried fruits such as figs and hints of angelica. Also floral touches as well as a little pollen and honey. The slight roughness disappeared almost completely
restaurant Palate
big, powerful, more ‘Speyside’ and ‘Glenlivet’ in style (no kiddin’) than on the nose when undiluted. Gooseberries and strawberries, cereals and oranges with notes marzipan and once again a wee hint of rubber. With water: once again the rubber disappeared. More overripe apples and camomile tea. Very good soft oak, not drying at all
timer Finish
long, a tad grassier, with even more tea and a little more oak than before (white pepper)
