72
- Nose
- Clean, light and freshly minty. Good green apple intensity. Focused.
- Palate
- Fresh and medium-dry with a slight peppery heat. Water is needed to
shake loose and delicate floral note.
- Finish
- Apples return.
- Comment
- A decent Glenlivet.
71
- Nose
- Shy and faint. Light, floral. Marshmallow. Citrussy. A distant note of strawberry candy.
- Palate
- Deceptively sweet. After that smooth start, a spicy burn bites the tongue, then fades away, not leaving many flavours. Second sip is better but still burning though. Pear drop, ginger.
- Finish
- Dry, fizzy and spicy.
- Comment
- Given its colour and shallow aromatic profile, this whisky has certainly “slept” for 31 years but the cask too. It probably started very tired.
