Tasting Notes

Nose

Chewy sultanas, morello cherry, dried herbs, cooked fruits, apple crumble, crème de cacao — luxuriously rich

Palate

Sherried peels and sultanas, chewy toffee, walnut, dried fruits, juicy raisin richness — the 25 years fully expressed

Finish

Long and rich — winter spice lingering, the Oloroso sherry finish adding warmth and depth throughout

Expert Review

8.5/10

Flagship prestige expression from the distillery George Smith founded in 1824. Finished in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks (later releases use PX and cognac casks). The Oloroso meshes beautifully with Glenlivet's signature floral-honey character. 25 years of Speyside elegance. 43%. Increasingly scarce.
