Flavor Profile
Tasting 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)
