Glenlivet XXV - $45
A super-premium entry in Glenlivet's range, this has been finished for a couple of years in Oloroso casks - so an extra depth of flavor and silky sweetness is the order of the day.
The Oloroso Sherry influence meshes beautifully with The Glenlivet’s signature sweet, floral, honey and malt notes, giving a nutty spiciness and quite intensely fruity palate, with raisins to the fore. The finish embraces steadily drying oak. A rich, complex and satisfying after dinner dram.

Tasting Notes
| Proof | Color | Nose | Taste | Finish |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 80 | Dark Copper | Rich. There are notes of chewy sultanas and morello cherry; dried herbs and cooked fruits with apple crumble and a balanced acidity; crème de cacao. | Thick and smooth. There are notes of Sherried peels and sultanas; chewy toffee and walnut; dried fruits emerge with a juicy touch. | Long and rich with winter spice. Medium-full with initial honey and then a very decent dose of hot smoke. The oak is there too, with vanilla & some peppery spices. Gets sweeter towards the end as the pepper lingers, counterpointed with unexpected sweet fruit & even a note of strawberry licorice which works very well. |
