The Glenlivet 25yr Single Malt Scotch (750ml)

From Ballindalloch, Speyside, Scotland

95BTI
93WHA

Dark copper color. Compact aromas caramelized whole nut, molasses, and spicy dried fruit chutney follow through on a very soft entry to a dry-yet-fruity, oily medium body with anise,brown sugar, and pepper spice notes. Finishes with an exotic peppercorn, roasted grain, and cocoa accented fade. Elegant and deliciously styled.

Finished in first-fill sherry casks for two years. My feeling on any whisky finished in a different cask is this: it should give as much to the flavor profile as it takes away. In this instance, I feel it has, and more. It’s not as nimble as younger versions, but the sherry, along with the extra aging, contributes a silky texture and a richer, fuller dimension to the whisky. I can still detect some of the peach, vanilla, tropical fruit, and honeyed malt I enjoy in younger expressions, but its key flavor components are toffee, honey-dipped citrus, red licorice, chocolate-covered almonds, and fig, along with dried spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, mint tea) that emerges on the palate and peaks on the finish. The flavors are seamless and elegantly balanced.
