Wilson & Morgan Barrel Selection Glenlivet 1975 (31 year old) 46%
Sherry Cask 10850/ Dist: 1975 Btl: 2006/ Tasted: Sept 2007
Rich and slightly vegetal aromas of green nuts, coffee, hickory and honied mature orange fruit. Only gripe is that it is a bit raw and edgy.
The palate is rich with Cognac-esque dried fruit mingle with cinnamon, orange fruit and spices. Like the nose it’s a bit raw and edgy. Great length with the intense dried fruit flavours lingering. It definitely belies its age. A bit on the raw side and for me just lacks subtlety. But I’m sure it will appeal to sherry lovers
