It was very good with a nice sherry character. Glenlivet GLENLIVET 1971-1999 27yo DOUGLAS LAING Old Malt Cask 50%, one of 371 bottles The aroma has a noble sherry character with an intoxicating feel, the flavor of grapes like muscat, high-end caramel and chocolate, and a pleasant woodiness. When drinking it, the smooth mouthfeel expands into a rich aroma of grape fruits and pleasant sweetness, gentle astringency, faint peat, light leather, and long-lasting pleasant aftertaste. [Very Good] This is a Douglas Laing Old Malt Cask Glenlivet 1971 bottled in 1999, aged for 27 years. Although there is no specific description, it's clearly a malt influenced by sherry casks and has the noble nuances of old sherry. There is a sense of sophistication in the notes of grapes, chocolate, and woodiness. The sweetness, astringency, and acidity are all pleasant, with subtle peat and leather notes adding depth to the flavor. This bottle mainly showcases the cask's character, but it was also possible to enjoy the nuances of old sherry. #Glenlivet (GLENLIVET)
