Tasting Notes

Nose

Christmas cake — cinnamon, orange zest, toffee, concentrated vanilla, aromatic sherry, orange and cherry blossom, the 18 years adding spiced depth to the Glenlivet fruitiness

Palate

Intensely malty — rich butterscotch, citrus, chocolate pudding, custard, spiced oranges, honey, pears, figs, cherries, underpinned by sherry, the 1824 heritage enriched by time

Finish

Long — no burn, only light pepperiness, elegant and refined, the double IWSC Gold quality persisting

Expert Review

8/10

Two golds at the IWSC — George Smith's 1824 recipe matured eighteen years in first and second fill American oak and sherry casks. Intensely malty with butterscotch, orange blossom, chocolate pudding, and custard. A long finish with only light pepperiness. Rich sweet fruit and indulgent vanilla.
