Tasting Notes

Nose

Raisin, dried apricot, a whisper of oak spice over the familiar Glenlivet orchard fruit.

Palate

Richer than the standard range — stewed plum, muscovado, a faint grape-skin tannin from the Cognac wood.

Finish

Medium, warming, with lingering dried fruit.

Expert Review

8.2/10

A no-age-statement Glenlivet finished in Cognac casks, presented as a nod to Captain Bill Smith Grant, great-grandson of founder George Smith, and his fondness for French brandy.
