The Glenlivet Description
Round, sweet, incredibly smooth and velvety. Wood is entirely integrated but present all the way, sweetly enveloping fruity and nutty flavours in an oaky shell. Luscious chocolate fudge lingers on the taste buds.
Ultimate Spirits Challenge: 93 Points
The delicate touch of peat smoke is followed by aromas of sandalwood, hot clay, and vanilla. The smoke becomes more apparent on the palate and is nicely balanced by flavors of sweet nectarine, wild herbs, and baking spice
Wine Enthusiast
First whiffs pick up scents of fresh pineapple, cedar, and paraffin; later sniffings detect subtle notes of baked pear and sweet oak. Palate entry features a firm, moderately oily, and velvety texture; by midpalate, integrated flavors of ripe peach, pear drops and bran delight the taste buds. Finish is extended, semisweet and coconut-like. Replaces the 12-year-old French Oak Finish. Best Buy. Score: 90-95. February 01, 2005.
