Palate

Malty and honeyed — oranges, ginger, cinnamon, tangy oak, herbal notes, warm spice — structured from the triple cask approach

Finish

Medium-long — zesty citrus, dark chocolate, cinnamon, woody notes — the 21 years and triple cask creating genuine depth

Expert Review

8/10

Triple cask matured — ex-bourbon, ex-sherry, and French Limousin oak. The vatting includes casks up to 40 years old. More structured and spicy than younger Glenlivets with firm oak. Fruit-forward character kept in check by warming spice. The Whiskey Jug: 86/100. 43%.
