Review by The Glenlivet

« This review is also available in Dutch »
Colour

Deep gold, with intense late afternoon summer sunshine shades.

Nose

Creamy and rich. Resinous fragrances swirl up before melting into a citrus fruit salad bowl. Orange peel and candied grapefruit aromas. Then, the bouquet opens on buttery notes. Shortbread, almond brandy snaps, vanilla toffee, fudge sauce. A dry spicy echo with a touch of liquorice resonates in the back.

Palate

Round, sweet, incredibly smooth and velvety. Wood is entirely integrated but present all the way, sweetly enveloping fruity and nutty flavours in an oaky shell. Luscious chocolate fudge lingers on.

Finish

Lingering with traces of toasted hazelnuts and lightly smoked almonds.
