Mina kommentarer:
Otroligt bra pris på en så pass gammal whisky från ett så känt destilleri. Troligen en sherrybomb i min smak. Min poäng: ?? p

Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:

Inga

Nose: Sweet varnished wood at first. Then pastry and baked fruit. Blackberry, plum, ginger, spices. Ripe peaches. Honeycomb. Pepper and a whiff of heather.
Palate: Hot, sweet attack. Pepper and oak spices immediately evident. Ginger, clove, apricot. Quite a weighty beast, sherried oak sweetness giving it splendour and heft. Serious complexity and length.
Finish: Immense. This one can run all day. Long, sweet and spicy like a stick of cinnamon. That's what 30 years in a quality sherry butt will do for you. Obviously I'm biased, but this is the real thing.
Comment: I hadn't tried a cask-strength Glenlivet at this age before. This is nothing like the distillery-bottled 30yo: much heavier, more full-bodied. This is real old-school blow-your-head-off sherried Speyside, with that chewy, leathery character and a complexity approaching profundity.
