Origins & Craftsmanship Hailing from the renowned Glenlivet Distillery in Speyside, Scotland, this whisky begins its life in classic American oak ex-bourbon barrels, followed by an exceptional triple-cask finish: first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, first-fill Tronais oak cognac casks, and first-fill vintage Colheita port casks. The Sample Room Collection is the creative arm of The Glenlivet house where cask experiments and flavour innovations are carried out, making this 21-year old a product of tradition plus creative maturation.
Tasting Profile
Nose: Rich aromas of caramelised pears and juicy peaches, supported by warming nutmeg and fragrant cinnamon. There is also a fine undertone of brown sugar, honeyed cereal and toasted oak.
Palate: Complex and fruity, with layers of dried apricots, sultanas, and chocolate-coated ginger. The finish from the cognac cask adds subtle spice, while port influences bring dark berry richness and sherry adds depth.
Finish: Long and smooth, with lingering spice and fruit, refined oak tannins and a warming, satisfying after-taste.
