the glenlivet 21 years old

Distillery: The Glenlivet
Style: Single Malt
Release: Unspecified
Age: 21 Years
Alcohol: 43% abv.
Region: Scotland, Speyside
Bottled For: Distillery

So well knitted... The most oaky and least floral of the range. But age and particular selection of barrels has achieved a distinguished maturity, almost intimidating. Sherry notes give additional depth to the distillery character and a cakey sweetness. Aromas are perfectly malted, especially when The Glenlivet is enjoyed with water. Wood is well integrated but firmly frames the aromatic palate. A very special dram to enjoy with dark chocolate and let pleasure linger late at night.

Review this whisky

review by saul

Color: Chestnut.
Nose: Citrus, Candy, Mustard.
Body: Thin. Strange, it feels full, but then it fades away. Still good.
Palate: Peat, Smoke, Salt.
Finish: Sour and good. Short.

Thanks very much to Ceceilia at The Shebeen for topping us up with this.

review by colin

Color: Golden caramel.
Nose: Green apples, Malt and strong alcohol at full strength. There is strong peat which comes out with water.
Body: Medium full. Thick and syrupy. Powerful.
Palate: Sweet. Very rich. Candied cherries, Oak, Vanilla.
Finish: Long but soft, with sweetness in the back of the throat and sinuses.

This is a very sweet whisky, but not at all in a sickly way. It has a similar character to The Macallan Cask, but much better balanced with malt and bitterish oak flavours.
