Glenlivet 25 Year

Big prune/raisin, hints of peach, caramel, smoke, citrus.

Very smooth and gulpable but short finish and tbh not that exciting. I’m by no means a scotch expert but this feels like a good first scotch for someone who doesnt like burning. I bought it on sale at Costco so price was very reasonable. But not that memorable of a bottle and I won’t buy again.

Having a Glenlivet XXV is always a good day. It was even better because i managed to convince a long time friend to pay for it (lol), and i got to say that this dram was just amazing. Bottled at 43%abv, tawny color. On the nose it was simply great. Fancy, stewed apples. Super nice aroma of pears and definitively some cherries. Incredibly fruity sweet. Fruit salad and Fresh. Burnt thick caramel, Tropical aromas like pineapple and banana. Bbq sauce; Dr. Pepper. Papaya, cherry syrup, and strawberry jam. Best aroma ever. On the palate it was supreme. Red apples, pineapple, cherries. Super tasty caramel. Everything is beautifully crafted. Aftertaste was not as good or complex, but still nice. Ginger; Fruit punch, pineapple and slight saltiness. The aftertaste is dry . Overall this whisky had aromas and flavors which were super clean and accurate. One of the best offerings Glenlivet can give you, i really loved this whisky. Complex enough for a fancy dram, my score for it is 92 over 100.

Smooth, balanced, awesome
