Glenlivet 21 Year Archive

Colour of darkened cedar. Very light and fast legs. Nose of peppercorn, plums and slight orange peel. Palette of cinnamon hearts and caramel. Added water heightens orange and apple pie.

Vanilla & Sweet Fruits

A beautiful expression of The Glenlivet that i was eager to taste. Finally i have had it and it was a fancy dram, easy drinkable and smooth, a little too straightforward maybe. Bottled at 43%abv. On the nose i really pick a lot of notes that i would normally get from the Glenlivet 15yo french oak. A very refined aroma. Vanilla cake, Raisins, Fruitcake. Amazing And Fancy aroma, sherriness is present. Custard cream and Pineapple. On the palate, this is a wonderfully light whisky. Very smooth, Vanilla, custard cream and cake. Just as the nose. Aftertaste is where something slightly is offered, a very bitter, truly bitter tobacco note (fantastic). Ginger. Super pleasant finish. Overall this is a fancy dram, made for people who can afford it and want a very smooth straightforward whisky. 89 over 100 is my score for it. Very pleasant experience.
