The Glenlivet is not characterized by eccentric maturation experiences. The distillery is for years and years THE reference of Speyside single malts, and its whisky has always had an amazing price-quality ratio. Also this bottle, matured in new (first burned inside) American oak casks follows the same rule. Very sweet, the whisky is amazing by its long and pleasant finish. I really recommend this bottle


The nose is slightly spiced with floral hints on a background of vanilla and malt.
The mouth is less interesting than the nose was, but is however rather complex, with tastes of malt to sweet citrus fruit through fruity but quite insipid fruity hints.
The finish is rathre long, fruity and is characterized by a kind of acidity contrasting with the palate which was rather sweet (even too sweet).


The floral nose reveals some slightly acid hints on a background of malt.
In the palate, this whisky is rather sweet and relatively complex, but remains dominated by the floral character of the first nosing.
The finish is rather long and dry, slightly bitter.
