tasting notes
GLENFIDDICH Vintage Reserve 1977
Colour
Dark Amber.
Nose
Rich dried fruit – raisins, dates and sultanas are overlaid with a soft oaky sweetness. Within a few minutes, sweet vanilla and baked apple, rhubarb and ripe pear develop. Water releases vibrant spicy notes with vanilla, creamy butterscotch and a trace of polished leather.
Taste
Very intense to start, with mouth coating oak tannin. Flavour sways between oak and sweet, fruity and spice.
Finish
Very long and lingering with a warm, sweet afterglow.
