Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Nose:
The nose prickle expected of a cask-strength spirit is softer than expected, with the decidedly medicinal character of iodine and tobacco as well as an earthiness reminiscent of forest humus. On the
Palate:
An unexpected creaminess surprises with vanilla notes, thanks to the first barreling, followed by the acidity of pineapple, orange peel, and toast, with a hint of chanterelles. Remarkably smooth for a cask strength spirit. The finish: A short finish, lightly peated and drying, turns to raw cocoa and toasted walnuts, with a lingering smoke. The familiar Glenlivet flavors shine, with the addition of both sweet bourbon notes and smoky peat flavors creating a complex offering in classic style. Overall, I give this whisky a score of 89 points.
