Selective maturation in new French Oak casks made from Limousin Oak creates a characterful and unique expression of The Glenlivet.

Description

COLOUR : Deep gold, with intense late afternoon summer sunshine shades.

NOSE : Creamy and rich. Resinous fragrances swirl up before melting into a citrus fruit salad bowl. Orange peel and candied grapefruit aromas. Then, the bouquet opens on buttery notes. Shortbread, almond brandy snaps, vanilla toffee, fudge sauce. A dry spicy echo with a touch of liquorice resonates in the back.

PALATE : Round, sweet, incredibly smooth and velvety. Wood is entirely integrated but present all the way, sweetly enveloping fruity and nutty flavours in an oaky shell. Luscious chocolate fudge lingers on.

FINISH : Lingering with traces of toasted hazelnuts and lightly smoked almonds.
