85- Nose
- Peaches. Dessert grapes.
- Palate
- A box of dark chocolate pralines with creamy fillings: fudge, apricot, mint. All of these flavours in a glass of whisky.
- Finish
- Concentrated sweetness, balanced by fruity acidity. As though raisins give way to fresh grapes.
- Comment
- Some of the older Smith's Glenlivets are too woody for me, but this one is a delight.
Martine Nouet
75- Nose
- Tangy, ethereal. A full basket of orchard fruit. Pear poached in vanilla. Distant almond notes.
- Palate
- Sweet and fruity (mango, pear). Quite oily. Velvety mouthfeel. Becomes spicy (white pepper).
- Finish
- Leafy, dry but lingering. Finishes with walnut peel bitterness.
- Comment
- Surprisingly vibrant for its age. There is a gap between the sharp nose and soothingly smooth palate. Water reconciles both. Would go well with a pear and almond pie.
