Scott’s Selection Glenlivet 1980 (31 year old) 45.5
Bourbon/ Dist: 1980 Btl: 2011/ Tasted: July 2011
Quite pungent with an almost peaty nuance. Well endowed in the white liquorice department with hints of white root vegetables! With time the granity hardness becomes more apparent as does the barest hint of some honey. Very intriguing!
Soft, gentle, full and rounded on the palate. Subtly fruity and like the nose quite granity. A little bit on the simple side but a great depth however. A good length with the granity character lingering. In conclusion: A seriously intriguing nose and a subtle palate. Very Highland-esque
I bet when I finish the Glenlivet 10k in less than 2 weeks time my shot at the end will taste: good. 🙂
