Glenlivet 21Yo Single Malt 700ml - The Sample Room Collection

Glenlivet 21Yo Single Malt 700ml - The Sample Room Collection 

The previous release of a 21 Year Old Glenlivet was called Archive and it won pretty much every award going including a double gold medal in San Francisco, a gold at the IWSC, and best newcomer in a Chevy Chase movie at the Shepton Mallet film festival. Maybe not that last one. So there’s no pressure on this new expression. It’s been treated to a triple finish in first-fill oloroso sherry casks, Troncais oak Cognac, and colheita Port casks. The latter are essentially tawny Ports from a particular year. This rich trio has made the 21 a decadent blend of fruit and spice.

Tasting Note:

Nose: Pear tarte tatin laced cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.

Palate: Fresh orchard fruit mixed with dried fruits like apricots and currants with rich chocolate and spicy ginger.

Finish: Long with lingering baking spices.

Alc: 43%
