Tasting Notes by Dave Broom for Whisky Magazine:
Nose
Mature but marvellously fruity and fragrant.Apple, jasmine tea and BBQ
pineapple-there`s even a hint of bubblegum in there. With water a
fragrant sweetness like honeysuckle blossom, rose.
Palate
There`s sufficient cask to add a lightly oily suppleness and toasted almond. The pineapples continue.
Finish
Long, refined and elegant.
Comments
A stunning Glenlivet and a superb example of the benefits of long relaxed maturation.
