A delightful intoxicating flavor with a captivating depth. Glenlivet GLENLIVET OB EXPORT RESERVE 43% 70s Circulation The aroma exudes sensuality, featuring a refined and mellow old sherry character, plum jam, premium chocolate, rich molasses, herbal notes of mint, antique furniture, and subtle earthy leather undertones. On the palate, it begins with a gentle mouthfeel that expands into a jam-like sweetness, balanced by woody depth and astringency. Notes of roasted barley, leather, herbs, and a long, pleasant finish linger. 【Very Good】 This is Glenlivet's Export Reserve from the 1970s. Perhaps due to the master from Yurakucho's fondness for this bottle, it's relatively common despite being a rare bottling. Every time I drink it, the sensuality and intoxicating character of its aroma remain striking. The balance between deep fruity sweetness and astringency is exceptional, but this time I particularly noticed the enhanced richness of molasses alongside the old sherry character. Although aged in sherry casks and from the 1970s (raising condition concerns), this bottle was in remarkable condition. #Glenlivet (GLENLIVET)
