The Glenlivet - The Winchester Collection Vintage 1964.

Den 24. april 1964 blev et american oak cask fragtet ind i warehouse hos The Glenlivet. 50 år senere er dette fad blevet aftappet og fået navnet The Winchester Collection Vintage 1964.

"The journey of this wonderful dram started with Captain Bill Smith-Grant – the last distilling descendent of The Glenlivet’s founder, George Smith, when he set aside the spirit that would become The Winchester Collection in April 1964. Over half a century of unrivalled knowledge, unwavering care and unfaltering craft of no fewer than seven Master Distillers has made this whisky so precious.

In 2014, the man whose name this precious collection bares decided it was time to awaken this whisky from its slumber. In Master Distiller Alan Winchester’s words, “My name is on the bottle but being a modest Scot, I'd like the whisky to do the talking.”

 

 

Aftapningen vil kun kunne købes i Harrods, London fra den 1. oktober 2014

Der kommer i alt 100 flasker ved fadstyrke

Noter (The Glenlivet):
There are hints of pear and peach nectar, with raisins lurking beneath. The spiciness of the American oak comes through a bit, too, but the real depth is revealed in a dark chocolate and honeycomb sweetness.

After the first sip the flavours wash over you almost one at a time. Luscious fruits—ripe pear, orange, and black cherries—are followed by wonderful, creamy toffee and just the slightest hint of coffee. There’s a velvety texture that unearths subtle caramelized sugar and candy notes deep in the background.
