Tasting notes

Taster Jim Murray

Nose: The most honeyed and least sherried; tangerines, salty oak and coconut milk.
Palate: Oily and intense with honey richness. Perfectly balanced with roast malt and oak.
Finish: Stunning bittersweet, oaky dry, honeysweet.
Comment: Outstanding. The finest and probably most delicate Glenlivet I have ever tasted.
