Reviewed November 28, 2021 (edited December 11, 2021)In may 2019 i had the opportunity to be invited into Linn's House, Chivas Regal castle in Scotland. As a guest, for a week i had the chance to taste dozens of wonderful whiskies from Pernod Ricard, but one of those single malts was my favorite: The Glenlivet 13yo Sherry Cask Matured Taiwan exclusive. I simply loved it, and i said to myself: "i have to have this whisky in my collection". Auctions passed and i managed to score some bottles of my favorite Glenlivet ever. Well... it seems they improved the game. Taiwan had another exclusive, a 15yo sherry cask matured, and i had to taste it. Well, i got a bottle and i shared it on a tasting event, needless to say, everyone's mind was blown. Bottled at 40%abv, a reddish chesnut color. On the nose, perfection. The most amazing and powerful aroma of figs, cinnamon, dates and sherry. Christmas cake, maraschino cherries, toblerone chocolate, vanilla and dark chocolate. After a couple of sips, the aroma changed into a perfect maple syrup, leather, marshmallows and coffee. Just amazing. On the palate it is precious. Figs, nutty, cognac, raisins. Velvety; this whisky has a very winey profile, like cabernet sauvignon. It is like apples bathed in sherry. Aftertaste is completes an outstanding whisky. TiramisĂș dessert, hay, Dr. Pepper soda, bitter chocolate. More sips revealed a smokey chocolate, molasses and liquorice. Overall, i don't have much more to say, this dram is going to be on my top 10 of 2021. It is one of the most wonderful drams ever. Totally recommended, you NEED TO FIND IT, YOU NEED TO BUY IT, YOU NEED TO TASTE IT, AND DON'T SHARE IT. My score for this spectacular single malt is 101 over 100. It is THAT good. SlĂ inte Mhath!
