Michael Jackson
87- Nose
- Lots of fruity, fresh-apple, oak extract.
- Palate
- Firm, rich, rounded. Dessert apples, peaches, honey.
- Finish
- Crisp, clean, oakiness.
- Comment
- The oak does not dominate, but is quite powerful for such an elegant malt.
Jim Murray
80- Nose
- Heady stuff for a Glenlivet this age; almost perfumed in style but it is oak that pulls the strings.
- Palate
- Wallopping oakiness produces a prickly spice and chewy, spectacularly beautiful sweet malt.
- Finish
- Big toffee and spice with countless oak rings.
- Comment
- It's The Glenlivet. But not as we know it. The oak is extraordinary, but the bitter-sweet sync impresses most.
