Tasting Notes

Nose

Dried tropical fruit, vanilla, polished oak. Twenty-one years have given this whisky an elegance and composure that the younger expressions lack. Beneath the mature oak, honey, mango and a gentle spice. Refined and restrained.

Palate

Elegant and mature — dried fruit, vanilla, a gentle oak spice. The two decades have produced a whisky of genuine sophistication, with layers of tropical fruit and honeyed malt supported by well-integrated oak. Mid-palate brings toffee, a gentle warmth and a silky texture.

Finish

Long, with mature oak, dried fruit and a gentle, sophisticated warmth.

Twenty-one years of Speyside elegance — Glenlivet at its most composed and refined.
