Gordon & MacPhail Glenlivet 80

John Urquhart og sønnen George havde fået fat i et sherry fad og fået det fyldt med new make på Glenlivet Distillery den 3. februar 1940. Cask No 340, et First fill Sherry butt blev derefter transporteret ind på lageret og den 5. februar 2020 valgte Gordon & MacPail at aftappe fadet over på 250 dekantere.
Denne 80 år gamle Glenlivet er aftappet ved 44,9%



Noter (Charlie MacLean):

Appearance: Deep umber with magenta lights; old polished rosewood.

Aroma: A complex, mellow nose-feel, still vivacious after all these years. Top notes of almond oil, scented hand-soap, backed by sandalwood and gorse flowers on a warm day. A whiff of peat-smoke in the empty glass.

Palate: An oily texture, and lightly sweet to start (dates, salted plums, figs), drying elegantly (traces of dry Oloroso Sherry), towards a lengthy menthol finish. Drop of water increases spiciness.

Summary: Vibrant and wholly satisfying. One of the finest malts I have ever encountered.
