N: malty, fruity, orange zest, light hint of coconut, a smidge of a salty note, honey, slight floral note that lingers in the background, unfortunately the rum notes are a bit of an afterthought and not as strong as I was hoping for. T: malt, ripe fruits, some cereal notes, a little peppery herbal note that transitions to the rum finish, has a little oiliness to it, finish is short but with a little ashy char to it. Overall, not as good as I was hoping Glenlivet would offer for a rum cask finished scotch. Not exactly wowing me here for the price. It’s decent neat, but for those creative types, this could probably be incorporated into a mixer of some sort.
