This exceptional Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been matured and refined for 40 years, meticulously nurtured by The Glenlivet’s cask experts and bottled at a cask strength of 46.9%.
Under the watchful eye of The Glenlivet’s Cask Master Kevin Balmforth, this permanent new expression was carefully finished in custom casks seasoned with a bespoke blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherries from the Jerez region in Spain.
This cask finish and extensive maturation period brings an impressive depth of flavor and extraordinary taste experience with rich notes of poached plums, charred orange, dark cherries, warming spice, and braised red apples, culminating in a long, sweet finish.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Rich and fruity with notes of homemade strawberry jam and raisins. Luscious dark cherries are complemented by cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of sweet, toasted oak
- Palate: Sweet layers of poached plums and charred orange progress to yet deeper notes of dark chocolate, braised red apples and sweet liquorice
- Finish: Long, sweet and rich with warming spice.
