Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Peat.
Palate
Sweet, syrupy. raisins. Cinnamon. Oak.
Finish
Firm; some cream flavours. Raisins and oak.
Comment
Enjoyable, but I expected a little more.

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.
