The Glenlivet 1972
Review by The Glenlivet
- Nose
Fruity, reminiscent of a sweet, juicy pear; with the perfume of heather in bloom; a hint of gentle, sweet spiciness and citrus with underlying, balanced, mature wood note.
- Palate
A beautiful, rich fruitiness; velvety smooth; the creaminess of a warm fudge a gentle whiff of smokiness; a long, smooth aftertaste of maltiness.
- Note
-
1972 is a unique vatting of just 10 casks. The newly-made spirit from a single's day distillation was filled into hogshead on 24 August 1972.This is a perfect combination of distillation excellence and traditional maturation. The refill hogshead casks contributes a gentle mature oakiness with sweetness and gentle spiciness combining beautifully with the fruity, floral, citrus notes of the distillate.
