Tastes

Nose: caramel, toffee Palate: Cream, creme brule, vanilla Finish: soft, Jordan almonds This expression is the favorite of the Glenlivet employees and I can see why. Some say it is the poor mans 21 year archive but I beg to differ. This whisky is solid. Good body, really enjoyable. This bottle will disappear quickly.

Defiantly loves water. Sweet and for desert. Nose: Christmas fruit cake. Dry cherries, licorice & apricot. Taste: cinnamon, marmalade Finish: spicy, warm This offering reminds me of smells and taste of grandmothers fruitcake. Good for a cold day, great substitute for sherry by the fireplace.

Bottled at cask strength. Keep some spring water close by to bring out the complexity of this gem. Cask 49- deep rich amber colour with copper highlights; heady aromas of toffee, smoky brine and peach compote; creamy, sweet and laden with warm toffee and baked fruit notes - lcbo

Red licorice, hint of banana, darker sherry, no honey.

If you are fortunate enough to be able to find this jem, ensure you surround yourself with your closest friends who appreciate whiskey. Nose: note of ooey gooey marichino cherry Christmas cake. Pallet: brilliant, smooth. Warm and welcoming. Very complex and full body. Finish: It comes quickly. And the warmth lasts. Over time, the whisky morphs into a complex bouquet of vanilla, crime brule and a hint of plum surprises the senses. To achieve this level of pleasure, must sit in the tulip whisky glass neat for minimum of 20 minutes.

Nose: easy on nose, fruity and floral. Not a lot of pain on the nose This whiskey is great for walking your dog on a cold winter night. Fill a flask and enjoy. Taste: lemon, spicy, hits your entire mouth. Add water - moderate. Water opens up the whiskey. Like a lemon poppy seed cake.

Fist fill burbon cask. 5 or 6 burbon casks used in this whiskey. Enjoy it while you can. Pallet - hint of spice, can be enjoyed neat. Small hint of butter while holding on the pallet. Warm finish, welcoming, can enjoy all night beside a fire. By far my favorite scotch whiskey of all time.
