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.

ABV: 43%
