Whisky - Glenlivet 1975 / 29 year old 54%alc
Glenlivet 1975 / 29 year old 54%alc
Once again summer finds me switching to beer rather than whisky but I fancied a dram and some pleasant music in the shape of the splendid Tori Amos.
This Glenlivet is bottled by Signatory vintage at its cask strength and from a sherry cask.
Nose: Oak dried fruits orange an tobacco. A splash of water opens it up but brings out the wood more.
Pallet: mighty wood tannins, rather astringent but sherry comes through to sweeten it up a little. With water the bitterness gets more pronounced so I would take this neat even at its cask strength in tiny sips.
Finnish: rather long but wood dominates.
Comment: the nose delivers big time butt the whisky is let down in the mouth, still a pleasure to drink something this old.
Score: 78%
