The overall character is dominated by an extremely rich old sherry nuance, but as the tasting notes grew lengthy, it's clear this is an intensely complex aroma. Particularly notable are the rich, sweet nuances of fruit jams and black sugar, balanced by leather and herbs, combined with an earthy quality reminiscent of leaf mold and old peat. This is a rare aroma in modern malts, with a sense of concentration and volume in almost every element. Additionally, the meaty quality sensed in this bottle seems to be a transformed version of sulfuric notes. It's likely that at bottling time, the aroma had a significant sulfuric character. As a result of this transformation, it seems that despite being so well-rounded within the bottle, the malt has become remarkably thick and voluminous. #Glenlivet (GLENLIVET)
