Review by The Glenlivet
« This review is also available in Dutch »
- Colour
Amber with sparkling copper shades.
- Nose
An opulent, mature nose with a sherry influence. An intricate array of wood and fruit: Christmas cake, sultanas, maraschino cherry. Water enlightens the fruity bouquet and brings out vanilla and lighter notes of ripe peaches. Pear and marzipan pie. Luscious barley sugar aromas.
- Palate
This full-bodied whisky is unctuous and mouth coating, almost syrupy. Oak holds the reins back, releasing a drying spiciness of cinnamon, ginger, walnut and dark chocolate.
- Finish
The finish is everlasting and warming with lingering presence of toasted hazelnuts and a full layer of liquorice.
