Martine Nouet
82- Nose
- Unmistakably Glenlivet. Appetising. Full basket of summer fruit. Becomes custardy in time.
- Palate
- Smooth and mellow. Melts in mouth like a ripe fruit. Generous sweetness. Ends drily and elegantly with nutty notes.
- Finish
- Medium long, spicy, slightly tangy and dry.
- Comment
- The rich fruity profile of Glenlivet blossoms at cask strength. So well balanced.
Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Gentle, but complex. Sultana cake, baked fruits, wild flowers, melting milk chocolate truffle. Rich, mellow and gorgeous!
- Palate
- Lively and exciting. Complex nose: sweet spices, apple juice. Good depth and mouthfeel.
- Finish
- Macaroon bars and light fruits.
- Comment
- Has the wow factor that separates the very good from the truly great.
