Glenlivet GLENLIVET 1961-1985? GM Sestante Import 57%
The aroma is rich and sweet, with an old-world character featuring a subtle tang, mity sherry notes, black sugar, mirin glaze, Shaoxing wine, caramelized hazelnuts, slightly charred barley, a leathery texture of well-polished leather, mature herbs, extremely complex and rich. Upon drinking, it expands from a smooth mouthfeel with a heavy, viscous texture, again with the mity sherry depth and thick body. A faint dashi soy sauce-like sweetness reminiscent of mirin or charred barley, meaty umami notes, a pleasant herbal bitterness, thick body, extremely rich and sweet with an exceptionally long finish.
【Very Good】
This is a Glenlivet 1961 bottled by GM for Sestante, a high-proof bottling from the 1980s. It is characterized by an overarching rich sherry note and a thick, well-preserved body typical of Sestante. Impressive was the variety of umami elements such as robust barley flavors and meaty depth. The mity nuances in both aroma and flavor convey thickness, depth, and umami-rich qualities. It also had a sulfury scent profile reminiscent of its early bottling days.
The bottle evokes the image of a slightly plump yet meaty and charming woman.
This was received through a small bottle exchange with fellow malt enthusiast 'turu' and tasted at home.
