Tasting Notes
Robert KarlssonBig on eucalyptus, minty. A little tooth-paste here. Yet, lively. Also some laid-back malt and raisin. More on vanilla, slightly buttery. Some slight berries. Then malt. Not entirely natural one, this.
Oliver KlimekColour: Dark gold - Nose: Walnuts, vanilla, caramel, hints of apples, grapes and cinnamon. - Palate: Caramel, lemon zest, walnuts, raisins. - Finish: Long, sweet and slighty fruity. - Overall: The trademark fruity creaminess of Glenlivet is joined by nutty and caramel notes imparted by the French Oak casks. Very sippable
